Q: A sample of metal with a mass of 24.8 g absorbs 275 J of energy, causing its temperature to rise from $$22.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$36.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is the specific heat ($$c) of $$the metal? Use the formula $$q = mc\Delta T.$$

$$c = \dfrac{275}{24.8 \times (36.0 - 22.0)} = 0.80\ \mathrm{J/g\ ^\circ C}$$

Q: A cup of whole milk contains 13 g of carbohydrate, 9.0 g of fat, and 9.0 g of protein. Using the energy values $$4\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$ for carbohydrate, $$9\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$ for fat, and $$4\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$ for protein, how many kilocalories does a cup of whole milk contain?

$$(13 \times 4) + (9.0 \times 9) + (9.0 \times 4) = 52 + 81 + 36 = 169\ \mathrm{kcal}$$

Q: A patient with hypothermia has a body temperature of $$34.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? Use the formula $$^\circ\mathrm{F} = 1.8 \times ^\circ\mathrm{C} + 32.$$

$$^\circ\mathrm{F} = 1.8 \times 34.0 + 32 = 93.2\ ^\circ\mathrm{F}$$

Q: How much heat (in joules) is required to melt $$32.0\ \mathrm{g} of $$ice at $$0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}$$? (Heat of fusion for water is $$334\ \mathrm{J/g})$$

$$32.0 \times 334 = 10,688\ \mathrm{J}$$

Accepted Answer

$$(13 	imes 4) + (9.0 	imes 9) + (9.0 	imes 4) = 52 + 81 + 36 = 169\ \mathrm{kcal}$$

Question 6
