3. Determine the temperature change in each of the following.
(a) 10 kg of water loses 232 kJ of heat energy.
(b) 500 g of copper gains 1.96 kJ of heat energy.

4. After 2 kg of mercury gained 2.52 x 10^4 J of heat energy, its final temperature was 130 degrees C. What was its initail temperature?

  1. recall that heat absorbed or released is given by
    Q = mc(T2 - T1)
    where
    m = mass (in kg)
    c = specific heat capacity (in J/kg-K)
    T = temperature (in C or K)
    *note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed, and (-) when heat is released.

    #1. we just substitute. the c for water is equal to 4.184 J/kg-K (you can google this or look for this in books):
    Q = mc(T2-T1)
    Q = 3*4.184*(10-80)
    Q = -878.64 J
    *note that it is negative since it cooled, and thus released heat.

    #2,3 and 4: just substitute the given values and solve for the unknown. be careful with units.

    hope this helps~ :)
