Q1. Which of the following substances could be heated from 20°C to 100°C most quickly? Assume identical heat
sources are used on all substances.

1. Gold
2. Silver
3. Platinum
4. Tin

Answer: A

Explain your answer: Since the heat has the lowest specific heat it needs the least amount of energy to
increase the temperature by 80 degree C.

Q2. Based on the graphs below, which of the following substances has the highest specific heat capacity?
Assume each experiment began with 200 g of the substance at 100°C mixed with 500 g of water at 20°C.

1. Substance A
2. Substance B
3. Substance C
4. Substance D

Answer: A

Explain your answer:

Substance A had its temperature lowered to 25.66°C, representing a temperature change of 74 34CC.

Substance B had its temperature changed by 79 05°C.

Substance C had its temperature changed by 77 22BC.

Substance D had its temperature changed by 79.46°C.

Since substance D had the greatest temperature change (all other variables equal), it must have the lowest
specific heat capacity. Since substance A had the smallest temperature change, it has the highest specific heat
capacity. An alternative way of thinking about this is to consider the temperature change of the water. Since
substance A raised the water temperature by the greatest amount, it must have given off the most heat energy
and have the highest specific heat capacity.

Q3. A chemist mixes 500 g of lead at 500°C with 1,200 g of water at 20°C. She then mixes 500 g of copper at
500°C with 1,200 g of water at 20°C. The specific heat capacity of lead is 0.1276 J/g°C and the specific heat
capacity of copper is 0.3845 J/g°C. What will be true about the final temperatures of the two systems?

1. The final temperature of the lead-water system will be equal to the final temperature of the copper-water
system.
2. The final temperature of the lead-water system will be higher than the final temperature of the copper
water system.
3. The final temperature of the lead-water system will be lower than the final temperature of the copper
water system.
4. Cannot be determined from the given information.

Answer: C

Explain your answer:

Lead has a lower specific heat capacity than copper. When all other variables are kept constant, lead should
show a greater temperature decrease when mixed with water than copper will show when mixed with water.

Q4. A blacksmith heats a 1,540 g iron horseshoe to a temperature of 1445°C before dropping it into 4,280 g of
water at 23.1°C. If the specific heat of iron is 0.4494 J / g °C, and the water absorbs 947,000 J of energy from
the horseshoe, what is the final temperature of the horseshoe-water system after mixing?

1. 734°C
2. 298°C
3. 76.7°C
4. 29.8°C

Answer: 76.7°C
Show the working of your solution:

m = 1, 540 g

c = 0.4494 J/g°C,

Ti = 1445°C, and q = -947, 000 J

(1540 g)(0.4494 J/g°C)(Tf - 1445°C) = -947,000 J

692.076 Tf - 1,000,049.82 = -947,000

692.076 Tf = 53,049.82

so Tf = 76.7°C

Explain your answer: The energy lost by the iron as it cools is absorbed by the water as it warms. This allows
us to set the heat energy value gained by the water equal to that lost by the iron. Since the iron loses energy,
its heat energy will be written as a negative value.

Q5. A chemist mixes 75.0 g of an unknown substance

at 96.5°C with 1,150 g of water at 25.0°C. If the final temperature of
the system is 37.1°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the
substance? Use 4.184 J / g °C for the specific heat capacity of water.

1. 368 J / g °C
2. 13.1 J / g °C
3. 0.368 J / g °C
4. 0.0112 J / g °C

Answer: B.13.1 J / g °C

Show the working of your solution:

-Qi = <¡2,

mi = 75.0 g,

ci = unknown,

(tringle)T1 = 37.1°C - 96.5°C = -59.4°C,

m2 = 1150 g

C2 = 4.184 J/g C,and

(tringle)T2 = 37.1°C - 25.0 C = 12.1°C

-(75.0 g)(c,)(—59.4°C) = (1150 g)(4.184 J/g°C)(12.r C)

c1, = [(1150 g)(4.184 J/goC)(12.1°C)]/[(75.0 g)(59.4°C)]

c, = 13.1 J/g°C

Explain your answer: The energy lost by the unknown substance as it cools (—qi) is equal to the energy
absorbed by the water as it warms (g2)
