1) A 250–g piece of gold is at 19 °C. 5.192 kJ of energy is added to it by heat. The specific heat of gold is
129 J/(kg·°C). Calculate its final temperature.
Answer: 180 °C.
2) We heat a 25–g sample of metal from 10 °C to 100 °C. 1.082 kJ of energy is added to it by heat. Calculate
the specific heat of the metal.
Answer: 481 J/(kg·°C).
3) A 365–g piece of copper is initially at 220 °C. The piece is dropped into a bucket containing 535 g of water
at 51 °C. The specific heat of this metal is 385 J/(kg·°C) and the specific heat of water is 4180 J/(kg·°C).
Calculate the final temperature of the system and the energy transfer to the water from the metal.
Answer: 60.99 °C, 22.34 kJ.
4) An 845–g bar of ice is initially at –25 °C. The latent heat of fusion of ice is 334 kJ/kg, the specific heat of
ice is 2050 J/(kg·°C), and the specific heat of water is 4180 J/(kg·°C). Determine how much energy is required
if the final temperature of the system is to reach 39 °C.
Answer: 463.3 kJ.
5) A 600–g bar of ice is initially at –33 °C. The latent heat of fusion of ice is 334 kJ/kg, the specific heat of
ice is 2050 J/(kg·°C), and the specific heat of water is 4180 J/(kg·°C). Calculate the final temperature of the
system if 383.9 kJ of energy is added by heat.
Answer: 57 °C.
6) A system of 480 g of water is initially at 19 °C. The latent heat vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg, the
specific heat of water is 4180 J/(kg·°C), and the specific heat of steam is 2080 J/(kg·°C). Determine how much
energy is required if the final temperature of the system is to reach 195 °C.
Answer: 1342 kJ.
7) A system of 795 g of water is initially at 49 °C. The latent heat vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg, the
specific heat of water is 4180 J/(kg·°C), and the specific heat of steam is 2080 J/(kg·°C). Calculate the final
temperature of the system if 2209 kJ of energy is added by heat.
Answer: 247 °C.
8) We want heat an 165–g block of gold from 18 °C to 190 °C. The specific heat of gold is 129 J/(kg·°C).
Calculate the heat we have to add.
Answer: 3.661 kJ.
