Guided Practice and notes for Specific Heat,

Q =( m ) ( Cp ) ( delta T )
Where Q= heat required in joules, m = mass in grams , Cp = specific heat in J/g/*C or cal/g ,and delta T = Tf- Ti = final temperature beginning temperature ,,,, Specific heat is the heat needed to raise one gram of a substance by one degree . 1 calorie = 4.18 joules. The specific heat of water is 4.18 Joules/gram * C Example Problems: 1.) A block of Iron has a mass of 500 grams and a specific heat of about .44 J/g.*C., find the heat required to raise the the temperature of the iron from 30*C to 60* C. Q = mCpdelta T ,Q= (500g) x ( .44 J/g.*C ) x (60*C - 30*C )= 6,600 J or 6.6 kJ

2. Find the heat required to raise 20 grams of ice at 10 *C to steam at 110*C . First, find Q=Mcpdelta T for heat required for change from -10 to 110 . Then add heat of fusion times mass ,then also add heat of vaporization x mass. Q= mCpdeltaT ----- = (20 g) x (4.18 j /g.*C) x(110*C (-10*C) )= 10,032 J or 10.032 kJ Then and Q = mHf ----- = (20 g) x ( 334 J /g ) = 6,680 J or 6.6 kJ Then add Q= m Hv -------- = ( 20 g ) x ( 2260 J / g ) = 45,200 J or 45.2 kJ Total Q = 10032 J + 6680 J + 45,200 J = 61912 J or 61.912 kJ
