    Heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a sample by one degree Celsius. Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of a sample by one degree Celsius. Calorimetry measures the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction by knowing the change in temperature. In an example, a 9.25g metal heated to 100°C was placed in 20mL of water at 25°C, raising it to 33.8°C. The heat transferred was calculated to be 739.2J using the specific heat of water. The specific heat of the metal was calculated to be 1.2J/g°C.

    Lesson 9: Thermodynamics

    Heat Capacity, Specific


    Heat, and Calorimetry
    Instructor: Roi Vincent V. Montenegro
    Heat Capacity
    Is the amount of energy required to raise the
    temperature of a sample by one degree Celsius.

    Specific Heat
    Is the amount of energy required to raise one
    gram of a sample by one degree Celsius.
    Equation involving heat transfer,
    specific heat, mass, and temperature:

    q = m c ΔT
    m = mass in grams
    c = specific heat of the substance (J/g°C)
    ΔT = change in temperature (Tfinal – Tinitial)
    q = heat transfer
    Calorimetry
    Calorimetry is the process of measuring
    the amount of heat released or absorbed
    during a chemical reaction. By knowing
    the change in heat, it can be determined
    whether a reaction is exothermic (releases
    heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat).
    A 9.25g metal is heated in boiling water (100°C)
    A 9.25g metal is heated in boiling water (100°C)
    Then the metal is transferred to another
    flask with 20mL water initially at 25°C
    A 9.25g metal is heated in boiling water (100°C)
    Then the metal is transferred to another
    flask with 20mL water initially at 25°C
    The metal releases heat and the
    temperature of the water became 33.8°C
    How much heat is transferred from the
    metal to the water? And what is the
    specific heat of the metal?
    Given:
    Water
    20 mL of H2O
    25°C to 33.8°C
    Spec. heat at 4.2 J/g°C

    Metal
    9.25g of metal
    Initially at 100°C
    Given:
    Water Metal
    20 mL of H2O 9.25g of metal
    25°C to 33.8°C Initially at 100°C
    Spec. heat at 4.2 J/g°C

    For water:
    q = m c ΔT
    q = (20g) (4.2 J/g°C) (33.8°C - 25°C)
    q = (20g) (4.2 J/g°C) (8.8°C)
    q = 739.2 J (heat absorbed by water and released by metal)
    Given:
    Water Metal
    20 mL of H2O 9.25g of metal
    25°C to 33.8°C Initially at 100°C
    Spec. heat at 4.2 J/g°C
    For water:
    q = m c ΔT
    q = (20g) (4.2 J/g°C) (33.8°C - 25°C)
    q = (20g) (4.2 J/g°C) (8.8°C)
    q = 739.2 J (heat absorbed by water and released by metal)

    For metal:
    q = m c ΔT
    (-739.2 J) = (9.25g) c (33.8°C - 100°C)
    (-739.2 J) = (9.25g) c (-66.2°C)
    (-739.2 J) / [(9.25g)(-66.2°C)] = c
    c = 1.2 J/g°C (specific heat of the metal)
    TRY THIS!
    4.82g of an unknown metal is
    heated to 115°C and then placed in
    35mL of water at 28.7°C, which
    then heats up to 34.5°C. How
    much heat energy (in J) is
    transferred from the metal to the
    water? What is the specific heat of
    the unknown metal?
    Given:
    Water Metal
    35 mL of H2O 4.82g of metal
    28.7°C to 34.5°C Initially at 115°C
    Spec. heat at 4.2 J/g°C
    For water:
    q = m c ΔT
    q = (35g) (4.2 J/g°C) (34.5°C – 28.7°C)
    q = (35g) (4.2 J/g°C) (5.8°C)
    q = 852.6 J (heat absorbed by water and released by metal)

    For metal:
    q = m c ΔT
    (-852.6 J) = (4.82g) c (34.5°C - 115°C)
    (-852.6 J) = (4.82g) c (-80.5°C)
    (-852.6 J) / [(4.82g)(-80.5°C)] = c
    c = 2.2 J/g°C (specific heat of the metal)
