• How much heat is needed to warm up 36 kg of hydrogen gas from
12.0 °C to 48.0 °C?
• 24000 J of heat is released when 640g of silver drops in temperature.
If the silver was initially at -10.0 °C, what is the final temperature of
the silver?
• A mass of gold, initially at 540°C, experiences a drop in temperature
of 12.0 °C when 82.0 J of heat is released. What is the mass of the
gold in grams?
• A 15.75g piece of iron absorbs 1086.75joules of heat energy, and its
temperature changes from 25°C to 175°C. Calculate the specific heat
capacity of iron.
• How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 10.0
g of aluminum from 22°C to 55°C
