Practice Problems
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
