Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.
A 100 g aluminum block, c = 0.897 J/(g·°C), warms from 20 °C to 70 °C. How much heat does it absorb, Ari?
A 200 g copper block, c = 0.385 J/(g·°C), warms from 22 °C to 72 °C. How much heat does it absorb, Bo?
A 502 g iron block, c = 0.449 J/(g·°C), warms from 25 °C to 250 °C. How much heat does it absorb, Esme?
Water cools from 80 °C to 30 °C. Is its q positive or negative, Jun?
- Negative: it loses heat
- Positive: it loses heat
- Zero: it is still water
A sample's temperature rises. What sign does q have, Luz?
- Positive
- Negative
- Zero
Which rearrangement of q = m × c × ΔT gives ΔT, Milo?
- ΔT = q ÷ (m × c)
- ΔT = m ÷ (q × c)
- ΔT = q × m × c
Which rearrangement of q = m × c × ΔT gives m, Noah?
- m = c ÷ (q × ΔT)
- m = q × c × ΔT
- m = q ÷ (c × ΔT)
Which rearrangement of q = m × c × ΔT gives c, Pia?
- c = q ÷ (m × ΔT)
- c = q × m × ΔT
- c = ΔT ÷ (q × m)
Twice the mass of water is warmed by the same ΔT. How much heat does it take, Tala?
- The same amount
- Half as much
- Twice as much
Equal masses of water and iron get equal heat. How do their temperature rises compare, Zee?
- Iron's rises about 9 times more
- Water's rises about 9 times more
- They rise by the same amount
