Alloys When a 58.8-g piece of hot alloy is placed in125 g of cold water in a calorimeter, the temperature ofthe alloy decreases by 106.1°C, while the temperature ofthe water increases by 10.5°C. What is the specific heat ofthe alloy?
The addition of 3.15 g of Ba(OH)28H2O to a solution of 1.52 g of NH4SCN in loo g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3.1 C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation: Ba(OH)28H2O(s)+2NH4SCN(aq)Ba(SCN)2(aq)+2NH3(aq)+10H2O(l)
Consider the reaction 2HCl(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)BaCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)H=118KJ Calculate the heat when 100.0 rnL of 0.500 M HCl is mixed with 300.0 mL of 0.100 M Ba(OH)2 Assuming that the temperature of both solutions was initially 25.0C and that the final mixture has a mass of 400.0 g and a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/C g, calculate the final temperature of the mixture.
9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 150.0 mL of 0.50 M HCI is added to 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH to make 200.0 g solution at an initial temperature of 48.2C. If the enthalpy of neutralization for the reaction between a strong acid and a strong base is 56 kJ/mol, calculate the final temperature of the calorimeter contents. Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.184 J/g C and assume no heat Joss to the surroundings.
A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 C to 27.93 C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
