Understanding Density and Specific Heat

What is the relationship between mass and volume in the context of density?

• Density is the sum of mass and volume.

• Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

• Density is the difference between mass and volume.

• Density is the product of mass and volume.

If a metal has a mass of 177.17 grams and displaces 22.5 milliliters of water, what is its density?

• 7.87 grams per milliliter

• 6.87 grams per milliliter

• 8.87 grams per milliliter

• 9.87 grams per milliliter

What is specific heat?

• The amount of heat required to freeze one gram of a substance.

• The amount of heat required to melt one gram of a substance.

• The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

• The amount of heat required to vaporize one gram of a substance.

Which equation is used to calculate the heat absorbed or released by a substance?

• q = m - c - delta t

• q = c / m / delta t

• q = c * m * delta t

• q = m + c + delta t

If a pot absorbs 38,250 joules of energy and has a mass of 340 grams with a temperature change of 125 degrees Celsius, what is its specific heat?

• 0.70 joules per gram degree Celsius

• 0.80 joules per gram degree Celsius

• 1.00 joules per gram degree Celsius

• 0.90 joules per gram degree Celsius
