Q=mcT Worksheet

Calculating Heat
1. How much heat is needed to bring 12.0 g of water from 28.3 C to 43.87 C ?



2. How much heat is released when 143 g of ice is cooled from 14 C to 75 C ?



Determining Specific Heat Capacity
An alloy of unknown composition is heated to 137 C and placed into 100.0 g of water at 25.0 C. If the final temperature
of the water was 36.4 C, and the alloy weighed 2.71 g, what is the specific heat capacity of the alloy?
3. find out how much energy the water gained:



4. The energy gained by the water in part 3 is equal to the energy lost by the metal (negative Q amount in the
formula). The final temperature of the metal and water should be the same. Use this information to find the specific
heat of the unknown metal.




5. A 45.0 g rock is heated to 97.2 C and placed into 75.3 g of water originally at 32.0 C. If the final temperature of the
water was 46.2 C, what is the specific heat capacity of the rock?




6. How many joules are released when 30.0 g of chloroform cools by 18.0 C?


7. Suppose that you have a 200 g sample of benzene at 45.0 C and remove 1463 J. What does its temperature become?


8. 64.0 J are needed to raise the temperature of 15.0 g of Copper from 22.0 C to 33.0 C. Calculate the specific heat of
Copper.


9. Calculate Q when 12.0 g of water is heated from 20 C to 100 C.



10. A 295 gram aluminum engine part at an initial temperature of 3.00 C absorbs 850 J of heat. What is the final
temperature of the part?



11. Two iron bolts of equal massone at 100.C, the other at 50 Care placed in an insulated container. what is the
final temperature inside the container?



Specific Heat Data:
water = 4.184 J/(g)C) ice = 2.087 J/(gC) gold = 0.129 J/gC
chloroform = 0.971 J/(g)(C) benzene = 1.83 J/(g)(C) copper = 0.387 J/gK)
iron = 0.450 J/gK) Al = 0.900 J/gK)
