How much heat has been lost?
Part 1: Specific Heat
1. If you apply the same amount of heat to an equal masses of both air and
waterwhich one will have a higher temperature? Why?
6. A copper pipe under your house has a mass of 475 grams and it heats up from
7C to 18C when hot water flows through it. How much heat does the pipe
absorb?
2. On a sunny afternoon, will granite or copper get hotter (higher temperature)?
Why?

7. A 500 gram piece of lead is left in the sun and heats from 10C to 100C. How
much heat was absorbed?
Part 2: Q = m c t (use the triangle if needed)
1. Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 100 g of
copper from 80 degrees C to 200 degrees C.

8. A gigantic piece of iron (mass = 1,270,000 grams) on the side of a building cools
2. How many joules of energy does it take to heat 5 grams of iron from 25C to
from 67C to 12C at night. How many joules of heat were given off?
50C?
9. A liter of liquid water (mass = 1,000 g) is heated on the stove from 11C to
45C. How much heat does the stove transfer to the water?
10. Calculate the specific heat capacity of a piece of wood if 1500.0 g of the wood
absorbs 67,500 joules of heat, and its temperature changes from 32C to 57C.
11. 100.0 g of 4.0C water is heated until its temperature is 37C. If the specific
heat of water is 4.18 J/gC, calculate the amount of heat energy needed to
cause this rise in temperature.
12. 25.0 g of mercury is heated from 25C to 155C, and absorbs 455 joules of heat
in the process. Calculate the specific heat capacity of mercury.
13. What is the specific heat capacity of silver metal if 55.00 g of the metal absorbs
47.3 J of heat and the temperature rises 15.0C?
14. What mass of water will change its temperature by 3 0C when 525 J of heat is
added to it? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C.
15. A 0.3 g piece of copper is heated and fashioned into a bracelet. The amount of
energy transferred by heat to the copper is 66,300 J. If the specific heat of
copper is 390 J/g 0C, what is the change of the copper's temperature?
16. Determine the specific heat of a material if a 35g sample of the material
absorbs 48J as it is heated from 25C to 40C.
