    The document provides information about heat capacity experiments involving water and metal blocks. It gives the heat required to raise 100g of water from 30C to 60C. It asks to calculate the heat capacity of 100g and 1000g of water, and the heat needed to raise 1000g from 30C to 40C. It also provides an example of calculating the specific heat capacity of a metal block and asks the assumption made. Finally, it provides questions about calculating heat needed or temperature change given specific heat, mass and energy.

    In a simple experiment, 100 g of water requires 12 600 J of heat to raise it from 30 °C to 60 °C.

    i) Find the heat capacity of 100 g of water.


    ii) Find the heat capacity of 1000 g of water.
    iii) Find the heat needed to raise 1000 g of water from 30 °C to 40 °C.
    Worked Example:
    An electric heating coil supplies 50 W of power to a metal block of mass 0.60 kg and raises the
    temperature of the block from 20 °C to 45 °C in 90 s. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
    What assumption did you make to arrive at your answer?
    Show/Hide Answer
    Assumption: No heat loss to the surroundings, i.e. all the heat supplied by the heater is absorbed by
    the metal.
    Heat energy supplied by heater, E = P x t = 4500 J
    Recall: E=mcΔθE=mcΔθ
    c=45000.60×25c=45000.60×25
    c = 300 Jkg-1°C-1
     
    Sadie is experimenting with a model steam engine. Before the 0.25 kg of water begins to boil it needs
    to be heated from 20°C up to 100°C. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4,180 J/kg°C, how much
    thermal energy is needed to get the water up to boiling point?

    Question
    How much thermal energy does a 2 kg steel block (c = 450 J/kg°C) lose when it cools from 300°C to 20°C?

    Question
    How hot does a 3.5 kg brick get if it’s heated from 20°C by 20,000 J (20 kJ)?
