Question 1

What principle underlies mixing calorimetry?

  • Heat lost = Heat gained
  • Heat gained = Heat lost
  • No heat exchange

💡 Hint: Reflect on what happens when substances at different temperatures contact each other.

Question 2

True or False: A calorimeter should ideally lose heat to the surroundings.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the definition of a 'perfect' calorimeter.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A calorimeter contains 500 g of water at 25 °C. A 200 g copper piece at 150 °C is added. After reaching thermal equilibrium, what is the final temperature? Specific heat capacity of water is 4186 J/kg·K and for copper is 385 J/kg·K.

💡 Hint: Carefully isolate T_final on one side of the equation.

Question 2

In a well-insulated container, 3 kg of ice at -10 °C is mixed with 2 kg of water at 70 °C. What will be the final temperature? Use the latent heat of fusion of ice (334,000 J/kg) for calculations.

💡 Hint: Keep track of phase changes and heat balance carefully.
