Calorimetry

For the formula:
 Q= m c ∆T
The  units for specific heat are:

• g /J C
• °C/g J
• kJ/g
• J/g°C

What would be the effect on the particles if more heat is supplied to the system?

• They would slow down
• They would stop moving
• They would speed up
• There would be no effect

For a skillet, used for cooking, do you want a high or low specific heat

• High, so that it will need more energy to heat up
• Low, so that it will change temperature quickly

Steam at temperature of 100°C is piped to 3 kg of water at the temperature of 5°C until the water reaches the boiling point. The mass of the steam required is
[Specific latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 × 10⁶ J kg⁻¹, specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 × 10³ J kg⁻¹°C⁻¹]

• 0.26 kg
• 0.53 kg
• 0.94 kg
• 1.89 kg
