Energy And Specific Heat

What action is NOT necessary before lighting a Bunsen burner?

In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, you measure the temperature change of water to study the specific heat of a metal. What statement explains the relationship between the water and the metal you are studying?

Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 oC. Based on this definition, what is the equation to calculate specific heat?

Suppose you heat a metal object with a mass of 32.1 g to 96.1 oC and transfer it to a calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water at 18.5 oC. The water and metal reach a final temperature of 23.2 oC. What is the specific heat of the metal in J/g-oC?

Identify the term that matches each description. Energy that is transferred from one object to another_____________ A measure of the amount of thermal energy in an object _______________ The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1°C __________________________

What is the value of 104 calories in joules (J)?

Which statements are true concerning a substance with a high specific heat?

Suppose you mix 100.0 g of water at 21.3 oC with 75.0 g of water at 76.4 oC. What will be the final temperature of the mixed water, in oC?

Identify the necessary parts to build a calorimeter.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that ___________________. An example of the law in this laboratory is __________________

In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, what temperature should be recorded as the final temperature of the water when measuring the food sample?
