1. Identify the unit used to measure each of the following:
Q = heat _________________
m = mass ________________
C = specific heat __________________
ΔT = change in temperature ______________
2. A 4.0g sample of glass was heated from 5ᵒC to 45ᵒC after absorbing 32 J of heat. What
is the specific heat of the glass?
3. How many Joules of heat are released from a 400g piece of glass that has been cooled
from 28ᵒC to 6ᵒC? The specific heat for this particular type of glass is 0.664 J/gᵒC.
4. What is the specific heat of a 44 g piece of metal if 202 Joules of heat are required to
raise the temperature from 22ᵒC to 33.6ᵒC?
