Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
What is calorimetry?
The process of measuring the amount of heat that is absorbed or released in a chemical reaction
The process of measuring the amount of time it takes for certain reactions to take place
What does Q stand for?
Heat or Energy
Mass
specific heat or specific heat capacity
Temperature
What unit is Heat/Energy usually in?
oC
Joules
J/goC
What does m stand for and what is it's unit?
temperature change, oC
Heat, Joules
mass, grams
specific heat, J/goC
We will use lowercase "c" instead of CS, what does c stand for?
Temperature in Celcius
specific heat capacity
heat released or absorbed
The negative sign means that energy is released. Does this mean that it's endothermic or exothermic?
endothermic
exothermic
What is the change in temperature?
90 degrees Celsius
-90 degrees Celsius
9612 J
120 g
What variable is she solving for?
m
Q
c
How is she going to get the c (specific heat) by itself?
Use this formula, q= m x c x Δ T
Use this formula, c= q/m x Δ T
Use this formula, m= q/c x Δ T
Use this formula, c Δ T= q/ m x c
What is your final answer?
0.89 J/g°\degree°C
1.12 J/g°\degree°C
