1. Which of the following best describes calorimetry?
The study of light and its properties.
The measurement of heat changes in chemical or physical processes.
The process of converting heat into work.
The study of sound waves.
2. What is the unit for specific heat capacity?
Joules (J)
Degrees Celsius (°C)
Joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g°C)
Grams (g)
3. A device used to measure the amount of heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical process is called a .
4. The formula for calculating heat energy transfer is q = mcΔT, where 'q' represents , 'm' represents , 'c' represents , and 'ΔT' represents .
6. Explain the principle of conservation of energy as it applies to calorimetry experiments.
7. A 25.0 g sample of an unknown metal at 95.0 °C is placed into 50.0 g of water at 22.0 °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)
