Specific Heat
100

Heat is absorbed by the system.

What is endothermic?

100

This law states that during any process, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

100

The unit represented by the symbol J.

What is joules?

Heat is neither lost or destroyed.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

100

If aluminum is heated from 30oC to 50oC, what is the change in temperature?

20oC

200

When "q" is negative.

What is an exothermic reaction?

200

This is what "q" stands for.

What is heat energy?

200

Represented by m in the heat equation.

What is mass?

200

The amount of energy needed to raise 1g of a substance by 1oC.

What is specific heat capacity?

200

What is the equation for heat energy?

q = mCDT

300

What is an exothermic reaction?

300

This is how you find DT (delta T).

What is final temperature - initial temperature?

300

The unit of measurement for temperature.

What is Celsius or Kelvin?

300

The tendency for substances to expand when the temperature is increased.

What is thermal expansion?

300

A sample of iron was heated from 0.00oC to 30.0oC. It absorbed 35.2J of energy as heat. If the specific heat of iron is 0.440J/goC, what is the mass of the iron?

400

Photosynthesis is an example of this.

What is an endothermic reaction?

400

In the equation q = mCDT, C stands for this. 

What is specific heat?

400

The unit for specific heat. 

What is J/goC or cal/goC?

400

Energy that transfers from one object to another because of a difference in temperature.

What is heat?

400

How much energy does a 4.00g copper sample absorb as energy in the form of heat if its specific heat is 0.384J/goC after it is heated to 40.0oC from 10.0oC?

46.1J

500

The reaction starts with more energy than it ends with.

What is exothermic?

500

The energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference.

What is heat?

500

The conversion factor for cal to J.

What is 1 cal = 4.184 J?

500
