10 g of water at 20 oC is mixed with 10 g of water at 50 oC. What is the final temperature of the
mixture?
10 g of water at 20 oC is mixed with 20 g of water at 80 oC in a calorimeter that has a relative
heat capacity of 0.25/g water added. What is the final temperature of the mixture? (Hint: relative heat capacity is the ratio
of the heat capacity of the calorimeter to the heat capacity of water.)
When 50.0 J of energy are added to a sample of 1.99 g of water initially at 25.0 oC, the temperature increases
to 31.0 oC. What is the specific heat of water? What is the molar heat capacity of water?
The specific heat of mercury is 0.0333 times that of water. Calculate the final temperature when 15.0 g of mercury at 75
oC is added to 5.00 g of water at 12.0 oC.
Suppose that one does a series of experiments in which hot water is added to room temperature water in a calorimeter.
Suppose one plots the results according to equation (5); that is, DThot is plotted
against DTcal. Explain how to determine the relative heat capacity of the calorimeter
from such a plot.
