Specific heat and calorimetry

The amount of heat "Q" required to

change the temperature of a given

material is regardless to its mass

• true

• false

Specific heat of water is different depending of its phase

• True

• False

A _____ system is one for which no mass

enters or leaves (but energy may be

exchanged with the environment)-

• open

• isolated

• closed

The heat

lost by one part of the

system is equal to the

gained by the other part. This follows...

• The Newton's laws

• The thermal conduction constant

• The conservation of energy

is the quantitative measurement of heat exchange.
