Grade 10 Science Worksheet - Building Confidence

NameDate

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

  1. Equal masses of water, one at 80 °C and one at 20 °C, are poured into one insulated cup. What temperature do they end at, Ari?

  2. Equal masses of water, one at 60 °C and one at 30 °C, are poured into one insulated cup. What temperature do they end at, Bo?

  3. Equal masses of water, one at 90 °C and one at 10 °C, are poured into one insulated cup. What temperature do they end at, Esme?

  4. Using the bars, which way does heat flow, Jun?

    • From the water to the copper
    • No heat moves between them
    • From the copper to the water
  5. Using the bars, what temperature does each sample end at, Kira?

    Use the picture in question 4.

    • Both end at 61.0 °C
    • Both end at 28.5 °C
    • Copper 100.0 °C, water 22.0 °C
  6. Using the bars, why do the temperatures stop changing, Luz?

    Use the picture in question 4.

    • The copper ran out of atoms
    • The water became copper
    • They now share one temperature
  7. In a calorimeter, heat lost by the hot part equals what, Noah?

    • Heat lost by the cold part
    • Heat gained by the cold part
    • Twice the heat the cold part gains
  8. Which way does heat flow on its own, Pia?

    • From small to big
    • From cold to hot
    • From hot to cold
  9. Why is a simple calorimeter made from a foam cup, Ren?

    • Foam speeds up reactions
    • Foam keeps heat from escaping
    • Foam makes heat of its own inside
  10. The water in a calorimeter warms while a reaction happens in it. What kind of reaction is it, Zee?

    • Endothermic
    • Exothermic
    • No reaction

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.
