1. The temperature of a 250 g sample of water is changed from 25.0°C to 30.0°C.

How much
energy was transferred into the water to cause this change? Calculate your answer in J, kJ,
calories, and kilocalories. The heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/g °C.
2. When 1.02 g of steric acid, C18H36O2, was burned completely in a bomb calorimeter, the
temperature of the calorimeter rose by 4.26°C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 9.43
kJ/°C. Calculate the total heat of combustion of steric acid in kJ/mol.
3. A laboratory animal exercised on a treadmill, which, through pulleys, raised a mass of 200
g through 1.55 m. At the same time, the animal lost 5.0 J of energy as heat. Disregarding
all other losses and regarding the animal as a closed system. What is its change in internal
energy?
