1) To raise the temperature of a 2.0 kg block of metal by 20 ºC, energy of 5.2 kJ is needed.
What is the value of the specific heat capacity of the metal?

2 / 5

2) Liquid X has a specific heat capacity of 80 J/ (kg ºC). What does this mean?

3 / 5

3) A pupil adds 37 g of ice at 0 ºC to 100 g of water at 30 ºC. The final temperature of the water and melted ice is 0 ºC. No heat is lost to, or gained from, the surroundings and the ice completely melted. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.2 J/(g ºC). What is the
specific latent heat of ice?

4 / 5
