Example Questions
Example Question #11 :General Thermodynamics
Calculate the specific heat ofof metal that requiresof heat energy to raise its temperature fromto?
Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1oC. Calorimeters used for these types of experiments because they are designed to be well-insulated, so no heat is gained from or lost to the surroundings.
Example Question #31 :Thermodynamics And Phases
Calculate the final temperature when asample of metal (specific heat of the metal=) atis placed intoof water at. (Specific heat of water is)
Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1oC. Calorimeters used for these types of experiments because they are designed to be well-insulated, so no heat is gained from or lost to the surroundings.
Heat is transferred from the metal to the water.
