There are three metals: calcium, lead, and nickel. At 25.0°C, 20.0-g samples of each metal are supplied with the same quantity of heat. Using the specific heat capacities in the table below, determine which metal would reach the highest temperature.
The temperature of a 1.00 g sample rose by 30.0 °C when 13.5 J or 3.22 cal of heat was applied to it. Determine the specific heat of the sample and identify its identity from the pool of substances with their specific heat values below.
Aluminum (0.897 J/g•°C)
Iron (0.449 J/g•°C)
Palladium (0.246 J/g•°C)
Ethyl acetate is a solvent used for recrystallization processes. Ethyl acetate has a specific heat of 0.455 cal/g•°C. Calculate the heat energy lost in the cooling process when 111 g of ethyl acetate was heated to its boiling point (77.1°C) to dissolve a sample and then cooled down to room temperature (25.0°C). Assume that the specific heat does not change.
A sample of an alloy weighing 65.00 g with a temperature of 90.00°C is dropped into 120.0 g of water at 25.00°C. The final temperature of both the alloy and the water is 40.00°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the alloy if the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g•°C).
