What does the specific heat capacity of a substance indicate?

• The amount of heat a substance can produce

• The temperature increase when a substance is heated for one minute

• The amount of substance needed to raise the temperature of water by 1 degree Celsius

• The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one mass unit of the substance by 1 degree Celsius

Why is water particularly noted for its high specific heat capacity?

• Because it can absorb a lot of heat without a significant change in temperature

• Because it releases heat very quickly

• Because it changes state at room temperature

• Because it is a universal solvent

What is Hess's Law primarily concerned with?

• The speed of a chemical reaction

• The initial and final states of a chemical reaction

• The color change in a chemical reaction

• The pathway a chemical reaction takes

What does the change in enthalpy (ΔH) represent in a chemical reaction?

• The change in volume

• The change in pressure

• The heat absorbed or released

• The change in color

Why might the calorimetry results differ from the calculated values using Hess's Law?

• Because the temperature was constant

• Because of the specific heat capacity of pure water used instead of salt water

• Because the reaction did not occur

• Because no heat was released during the reaction

What is the main purpose of insulation in a calorimeter?

• To minimize the amount of heat that leaks in or out

• To cool down the reaction

• To change the color of the reaction

• To speed up the reaction

What does the specific heat capacity of water tell us?

• Water can freeze instantly

• Water requires a lot of thermal energy to raise its temperature

• Water is not a good solvent

• Water can produce heat without any chemical reaction
