Calorimetry Problems and Solutions.

1. How much energy is required to heat 80 grams of water from 26 degrees Celsius to 48 degrees
Celsius? The Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g.C.

2. How much energy is required to melt 75g of ice? The heat of fusion of ice is 334 J/g.

3. A 70g chunk of metal at 180C was dropped in a bucket containing 400g of water at 25C. The final
temperature of the mixture was 28C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

4. 100g of Iron metal (c= 0.45 J/g.C) at 95C was placed in 200g of water at 25C. What is the final
temperature of the mixture?

5. In a coffee cup calorimeter, 2.6g of CaCl2(s) was dissolved in 360g of water at a combined initial
temperature of 23C. The final temperature was 26.4C. Calculate the enthalpy change of the
reaction.

6. Calculate the energy required to heat 24g of ice at -20C to steam at 250C. The heat of fusion of
ice is 334 J/g and the heat of vaporization of water is 40.7 kJ/mol. The specific heat capacity of
ice and steam are 2.03 J/g and 2.01 J/gC respectively.
