Q: Calculate the amount of heat (in joules) required to raise the temperature of 150 g of water from 20.0°C to 80.0°C. (Specific heat of water $$c = 4.18 \ \mathrm{J/g\cdot K})$$

$$q = 150 \times 4.18 \times (80.0 - 20.0) = 37,620 \ \mathrm{J}$$

Q: A brass candlestick (mass = 0.59 kg) cools from 98.0°C to 6.8°C, releasing 21,100 J of heat. What is the specific heat capacity of brass in $$\mathrm{J/g\cdot K}$$?

$$c = \frac{21,100}{590 \times 91.2} = 0.392 \ \mathrm{J/g\cdot K}$$

Q: A 225 g sample of water is heated from 25.0°C to 100.0°C. How much heat (in calories) is required? (Specific heat of water $$c = 1.00 \ \mathrm{cal/g\cdot ^\circ C})$$

$$q = 225 \times 1.00 \times (100.0 - 25.0) = 16,875 \ \mathrm{cal}$$

Question 1

Which molecular interaction is primarily responsible for water's high boiling point and its expansion upon freezing?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonding

Question 2

Water is described as amphoteric. What does this mean?

Accepted Answer

It can act as both an acid and a base.

Question 3

Calculate the amount of heat (in joules) required to raise the temperature of 150 g of water from 20.0°C to 80.0°C. (Specific heat of water $$c = 4.18 \ \mathrm{J/g\cdot K})$$

Accepted Answer

$$q = 150 	imes 4.18 	imes (80.0 - 20.0) = 37,620 \ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 4

A brass candlestick (mass = 0.59 kg) cools from 98.0°C to 6.8°C, releasing 21,100 J of heat. What is the specific heat capacity of brass in $$\mathrm{J/g\cdot K}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$c = \frac{21,100}{590 	imes 91.2} = 0.392 \ \mathrm{J/g\cdot K}$$

Question 5

Which of the following best explains why water is considered a 'universal solvent'?

Accepted Answer

Water's polarity and hydrogen bonding allow it to dissolve many ionic and polar substances.

Question 6

A Pikachu gives a shock of 360 J. How many calories is this? ($$1 \ \mathrm{cal} = 4.184 \ \mathrm{J})$$

Accepted Answer

$$360 \div 4.184 = 86 \ \mathrm{cal}$$
