Grade 10 Science Worksheet

NameDate

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. A copper piece warms 60 g of water from 22 °C to 28.5 °C. Using c = 4.18 J/(g·°C), how much heat did the water gain, Ari?

  2. A steel rod warms 425 g of water from 24 °C to 42.7 °C. Using c = 4.18 J/(g·°C), how much heat did the water gain, Bo?

  3. In a cold pack, 50 g of water goes from 24.9 °C to 20.3 °C. Using c = 4.18 J/(g·°C), what is the water's q, Esme?

  4. In a cold pack the water's q is negative. What sign does q have for the dissolving, Kira?

    • Positive
    • Zero
    • Negative
  5. The water's ΔT is +6.5 °C. What happened to the water, Luz?

    • Its mass grew
    • It lost heat
    • It gained heat
  6. Read this first

    Three described calorimeter runs (OpenStax Examples 5.4, 5.6 and 5.7)

    runwater before (°C)water after (°C)
    hot copper piece in water2228.5
    ammonium nitrate dissolving (cold pack)24.920.3
    glucose burned in a sealed steel calorimeter23.835.6
  7. Using the table, which run was endothermic, Milo?

    • The hot copper run
    • The glucose run
    • The ammonium nitrate run
  8. Using the table, which run changed the water's temperature the most, Noah?

    • The hot copper run
    • The glucose run
    • The ammonium nitrate run
  9. Using the table, in the copper run, which part lost heat, Pia?

    • Neither part
    • The copper piece
    • The water
  10. Why does a mug of hot cocoa cool down on the table, Ren?

    • Cold from the air flows into it
    • It gives heat to the cooler air
    • Its heat is destroyed
  11. A metal bench and a wooden bench are at the same temperature, but the metal feels colder. Why, Zee?

    • The metal bench is at a lower temperature
    • Metal takes heat from the hand faster
    • Wood makes heat of its own

About this worksheet

Read calorimetry data: heat moves from hot to cold. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can say heat flows from hot to cold until both share one temperature.
  • I can use heat lost by the hot part = heat gained by the cold part.
  • I can find the water's heat from described data and give q its sign.
  • I can find a metal's specific heat from a described experiment and name what makes results too low.

Standard: HS-PS3-4

Words to know

calorimeter: An insulated container where heat exchange is measured

thermal equilibrium: The state where both parts share one temperature

heat gained: Positive q, as the temperature rises

heat lost: Negative q, as the temperature falls

insulated: Keeping heat from escaping

Common mistakes

Your child added the two temperatures. Equal masses of water share the heat evenly, so the final temperature is the average.

Your child used the final temperature instead of the change. ΔT = final − initial.

Your child used the metal's starting temperature, not its change. The metal cooled from its start to the final temperature.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with read calorimetry data: heat moves from hot to cold?

Your child added the two temperatures. Equal masses of water share the heat evenly, so the final temperature is the average.
