Module 2 Pretest Homework Packet  Answers

 

Module Two-Part H: Density, Specific Gravity & Volume Problems  5 points

 

1. A quartz rock was cut into a rectangular solid paperweight. IF the paperweight has a mass of 165 g and measures 5.00 cm by 5.00 cm by 25.0 mm, what is its volume in cubic centimeters?

The Question:

____???____ cm3 = 5.00 cm X 5.00 cm X 25.0 mm

10 mm = 1 cm ; therefore 25.0 mm = 2.50 cm (all units must be equal)

Volune = L3 = 5.00 cm X 5.00 cm X 2.50 cm = ____62.5__cm3

 

 

2. Calculate the density in g/mL for 10.0 grams of ethyl ether having a volume 14.0 mL.

The Question:

Density = ____???____ g/m

Density = Mass/Volume = 10.0 g/14.0 mL = 7.14 g/mL

Part I: Heat and Specific Heat                      5 points

  

1. Find the specific heat of gold if 25.0 cal is required to heat 30.0 g of gold from 27.7 oC to 54.9 oC.

 

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius.

Specific Heat (C)

--------

Mass (g) ∙ Temperature Change (∆t)

 

 

g ∙ oC

 

q = C ∙ m ∙ ∆t

 

∆t = 54.9 oC – 27.7 oC = 27.2 oC

2. Calculate the heat required to raise to raise 25.0 g of iron (sp Heat=0.108 cal/g ∙ oC) from 25.0 oC to 50.0 oC.

 

 

q = C ∙ m ∙ ∆t

 

q =  (0.108 cal/g ∙ oC) (25.0 g) (50.0 oC – 25.0 oC )

 

q = 0.108 ∙ 25.0 ∙ 25.0 cal

 

q = 67.5 cal
