1. Which of the following best describes a calorimeter?
A device used to measure temperature.
A device used to measure heat transfer.
A device used to measure pressure.
A device used to measure volume.
2. What is the specific heat capacity of water?
1.00 J/g°C
4.18 J/g°C
2.00 J/g°C
0.50 J/g°C
3. The principle of calorimetry states that the heat lost by a hot object is equal to the heat by a cold object.
4. The formula for calculating heat transfer is q = m * c * ΔT, where 'q' is heat, 'm' is mass, 'c' is , and 'ΔT' is the change in temperature.
5. Describe the basic function of the calorimeter shown in the diagram above in an experiment to determine the specific heat of a metal.
6. A 50.0 g sample of an unknown metal at 100.0 °C is placed in 75.0 g of water at 20.0 °C in a calorimeter. If the final temperature of the water and metal is 25.0 °C, calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal. (Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C)
7. An exothermic reaction releases heat to its surroundings.
True
False
8. In an ideal calorimeter, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings.
True
False
