TOPICS: TEMPERATURE AND HEAT

Name:................................ Class:........... Due Date: 6th/03/20 Score:............./20

INSTRUCTIONS:

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS MADE UP OF SHORT CALCULATIONS QUESTIONS. YOU ARE ADVICED TO


ATTEMPT ALL QUESTIONS AND SHOW WORKING OUT TO EARN FULL MARKS. IF YOU'RE FOUND
CHEATING YOUR PAPER WILL BE INVALID.

1. Explain the difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity. (2Mks)

2. Explain the difference between heat and temperature. ( 2Mks)

3. 100g of copper is heated so that it experiences a 130°C rise in temperature. (3Mks)

a) Given that copper has a specific heat capacity (c) of 387J/kg°C, find the amount of heat energy added.

b) If we double the mass of copper, how would this affect the amount of energy needed to heat copper
with the same temperature rise?

4. A 120g amount of sodium chloride is heated from 25°C to 100°C. The amount of energy added is
calculated to be 7 920J. (5 Mks)

a) Determine the heat capacity of 120g of sodium chloride.

b) Find the specific heat capacity of sodium chloride.

c) How much energy is required to cause the same temperature change for 200g of sodium chloride?

5. An electric boiler with power rating of 125 KW is used to completely evaporate water at a
temperature of 100 °C in 2 minutes.If the initial Temperature of water is 20°C, how much in kilogram is
the mass of the water? (3 Mks)

6.200g of water at 95°C is poured into a 150g glass cup initially at 25°C. What will the final temperature
of the mixture be when equilibrium is reached, assuming that no heat flows to the surroundings?
(cwater= 4200 J/kg°C , cglass = 840J/kg°C). (5Mks)
