hen 100 cal (418 J) of heat is applied to a 125 g sample, the temperature increases by 28 degree C. Calculate the specific heat of the sample and compare your answer to the values in Table 1.10. What is the identity of the sample?

Use the heat equation to calculate the energy, in joules and calories, for each of the following (see TABLE3.11):c. lost when 15.0 g of ethanol, C₂H₆O, cools from 60.5 °C to−42.0 °C

Calculate the energy to heat twocubes (gold and aluminum) each with a volume of 10 cm³ from 15 °C to 25 °C. Refer to Tables2.8 and 3.11. (3.6)

Calculate the specific heat of copper if it takes 23 cal (96 J) to heat a 5.0 g sample from 25 degree C to 75 degree C.

The specific heat of fat is 0.45 cal/(g ⋅ °C) (1.9 J/g °C) and the density of fat is 0.94 g/cm^3. How much energy (in calories and joules) is needed to heat 10 cm^3 of fat from room temperature (25 degree C) to its melting point (35 degree C)?

On a hot day, the beach sand gets hot but the water stays cool. Would you predict that the specific heat of sand is higher or lower than that of water? Explain. (3.6)
