Part 2: Calculating Specific Heat Worksheet
q = mCp∆T, where q = heat energy, m = mass, and ∆T = change in temp.
Remember, ∆T = (Tfinal – Tinitial). Show all work and proper units.
1. A 15.75-g piece of iron absorbs 1086.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 25°C
to 175°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron.
2. How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 10.0 g of aluminum from 22.8°C to
53.9°C, if the specific heat of aluminum is 0.90 J/g°C?
3. What mass of water will change its temperature by 3.5°C when 525 J of heat is added to it? The
specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g 0C
4. A 0.3 g piece of copper is heated and fashioned into a bracelet. The amount of energy transferred by
heat to the copper is 66,300 J. If the specific heat of copper is 390 J/g 0C, what is the change of the
copper's temperature?
5. Calculate the specific heat capacity of a piece of wood if 1500.0 g of the wood absorbs 67,500 joules of
