• 0.672 J/g ⁰C
• 0.533 ⁰C
• 1.156 J/g ⁰C
• 0.133 J/g ⁰C

The specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram, one degree Celsius of a substance.

• True
• False
• sometimes

As a reaction is taking place,  the student notices that the temperature has dropped. This indicates that the system has increased in energy. What type of process is this?

• Endothermic
• Exothermic

For the formula:
 Q= m c ∆T
The  units for specific heat are:

• g /J C
• J/g⁰C
• kJ/g
• KJ/⁰Cg

Using the heat equation, what would the formula look like if we were solving for change in temperature?

• ΔT c =Qm
• ΔT=Q/mc
• ΔT = Qm/c
• mcQ=∆T

A sample of iron receives 50 J of heat energy that raises the temperature of the iron 25.0°C. If iron has a specific heat of .10 J/g°C, what is the mass of the iron sample?

• 25g
• 20g
• 17g
• 50g
