An engineer heats six 0.5 kg samples of liquids using the same amount of energy. The temperature changes are shown. Starting with the greatest, sort the liquids into order of specific heat capacity.
A block of hot metal is placed into a beaker of cold water. Which of the following statements are correct?
Match the following key words or phrases to their definition.
A joulemeter shows a starting reading of 145 J. After five minutes, it shows 8240 J. How much energy has been transferred through the joulemeter in this time?
0.1 kg samples, heated to the same temperature, are each put into 5 kg of cold water. The water temperatures are shown. Starting with the smallest, sort the metals in order of specific heat capacity.
A 0.50 kg piece of metal at 114°C is placed in 2.0 kg of water. The water reaches a temperature of 30°C.(SHC of the metal = 200 J/kg °C)How much energy did the metal transfer to the water? ___ J
A 0.50 kg sample of a metal is heated using 6000 J. Its temperature rises from 20.2°C to 32.2°C.Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
When placed in water, a metal block of mass 0.12 kg cools by 41.7°C. The energy transferred to the water by heating is 2000 J. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal to 3 s.f?
