Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal, given that a 0.15 kg piece of metal at 120 °C is dropped into a calorimeter containing 0.5 kg of water at 20 °C, and the final temperature is 30 °C.
💡 Hint: Think about how to express the heat exchange using Q = mcΔT.
You are heating 1 kg of ice at 0 °C to steam at 100 °C. Calculate the total heat required, given the latent heats of fusion and vaporization.
💡 Hint: Remember to account for all phases of temperature change.
