| 1. A 500 g piece of iron changes 7�C when heat is added. How much heat energy produced this change in temperature? 2. When 300 cal of energy is lost from a 125 g object, the temperature decreases from 45�C to 40�C. What is the specific heat of this object? 3. 1200 cal of heat energy is added to a liquid with a specific heat of 0.57 cal/g�C. If the temperature increases from 20�C to 33�C, what is the mass of the liquid? 4. A piece of food is burned in a calorimeter that contains 200 g of water. If the temperature of the water rose from 20�C to 45�C, how much heat energy was contained in the food? 5. If the tested food in problem 4 had a mass of 10 grams, how many food calories per gram was contained in the food? |
