In an experiment, 27.5 g of metal was heated to 98.0°C and then quickly transferred to 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water was 25.5°C, and the final temperature after the addition of the metal was 32.5°C. Assume the calorimeter behaves ideally and does not absorb or release heat. 2nd attempt What is the value of the specific heat capacity (in J/g °C) of the metal? 1/g="C See Periodic Table See Hint

A sample of sucrose, C12H22O11, is contaminated by sodium chloride. When the contaminated sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter, sodium chloride does not burn. What is the percentage of sucrose in the sample if a temperature increase of 1.67C is observed when 3.000 g of the sample are burned in the calorimeter? Sucrose gives off 5.64103kJ/mol when burned. The heat capacity of the calorimeter and water is 22.51 kJ/C.
9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
9.50 When a 13.0-g sample of NaOH(s) dissolves in 400.0 mL of water in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the water changes from 22.6°C to 30.7C Assuming that the specific heat capacity of the solution is the same as for water, calculate (a) the heat transfer from system to surroundings and (b) H for the reaction NaOH(s)Na+(aq)+OH(aq)
Microwave ovens convert radiation to energy. A microwave oven uses radiation with a wavelength of 12.5 cm. Assuming that all the energy from the radiation is converted to heat without loss, how many moles of photons are required to raise the temperature of a cup of water (350.0 g, specific heat =4.18J/gC) from 23.0C to 99.0C?
When a 0.740-g sample of trinitrotoluene (TNT), C7H5N2O6, is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 23.4 C to 26.9 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 534 J/C, and it contains 675 mL of water. How much heat was produced by the combustion of the TNT sample?
The addition of 3.15 g of Ba(OH)28H2O to a solution of 1.52 g of NH4SCN in loo g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3.1 C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation: Ba(OH)28H2O(s)+2NH4SCN(aq)Ba(SCN)2(aq)+2NH3(aq)+10H2O(l)
In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
