Exercise 4.2 SECTION A : Choose the best answer 1.

The change in the temperature of an object does not depend on A. the mass of the object B. the type of substance the object is made of C. the shape of the object D. the quantity of heat received Which of the following defines the specific heat capacity of a substance correctly? A. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance B. The amount of heat energy required to raise 1kg of the substance by 10C. C. The amount of heat energy required to change 1kg of the substance from the solid state to the liquid state. Heat energy is supplied at the same rate to 250g of water and 250g of ethanol. The temperature of the ethanol rises faster. This is because the ethanol.. A. B. C. D. 4. is denser than water is less dense than water has a larger specific heat capacity than water has a smaller specific heat capacity than water

In the experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal block, some oil is poured into the hole containing thermometer. Why is this done? A. To ensure a better conduction of heat B. To reduce the consumption of electrical energy C. To ensure the thermometer is in an upright position. D. To reduce the friction between the thermometer and the wall of the block.

SECTION B: Answer all questions by showing the calculation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a 4kg iron bar from 32 0C to 520C? (Specific heat capacity of iron = 452 Jkg-1 0C-1). Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 0.8 kg of copper from 350C to 600C. (Specific heat capacity of copper = 400 J kg-1 C-1). Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 2.5 kg of water from 32 0C to 82 C. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg-1 C-1).

750g block of a aluminium at 1200C is cooled until 450C. Find the amount of heat is released. . (Specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J kg-1 C-1). 0.2 kg of water at 700C is mixed with 0.6 kg of water at 300C. Assuming that no heat is lost, find the final temperature of the mixture. (Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg-1 C-1
