4 MC Questions
1. A student mixes 50mL of 1.0M HCl and 50mL of 1.0M NaOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter
and observes the change in temperature until the mixture reaches thermal equilibrium.

The initial and final temperatures (°C) of the mixture are shown in the diagram above of
the laboratory setup.
Based on the results, what is the change in temperature reported with the correct number
of significant figures?

O
A 5.5 °C B 5.50 °C C 5.800 °C D 6 °C

2. For an experiment, 50.0 g of H2O was added to a coffee-cup calorimeter, as shown in the
diagram below. The initial temperature of the H2O was 22.0 °C , and it absorbed 300.0 J of
heat from an object that was carefully placed inside the calorimeter.
Assuming no heat is transferred to the surroundings,
which of the following was the approximate temperature
of the H2O after thermal equilibrium was reached?
Assume that the specific heat capacity of H2O is
4.2 J g-1 °C-1.

A 21.3 °C
B 22.0 °C
C 22.7 °C
D O 23.4 °C
3.

In an experiment to determine the specific heat of a metal, a student transferred a sample


of the metal that was heated in boiling water into room-temperature water in an insulated
cup.
The student recorded the temperature of the water after thermal equilibrium was reached.
The data are shown in the table above. Based on the data, what is the calculated heat q
absorbed by the water reported with the appropriate number of significant figures?
A 1600 J
B O 1640 J
C 1642 J
D 1642.3 J

4. In an insulated cup of negligible heat capacity, 50. g of water at 40.°C is mixed with 30. g of
water at 20. °C.
The final temperature of the mixture is closest to
A 22 °C
B 27 °C
C 30 °C
D O 33 °C
E 38 °C
5. A 1.0 g sample of a cashew was burned in a calorimeter containing 1000. g of water, and
the temperature of the water changed from 20.0 °C to 25.0 °C.
In another experiment, a 3.0 g sample of a marshmallow was burned in a calorimeter
containing 2000. g of water, and the temperature of the water changed from 25.0 °C to
30.0°C.
Based on the data, which of the following can be concluded about the energy content for
1.0 g of each of the two substances? (The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/(g.°C).)
A The combustion of 1.0 g of cashew releases less energy
than the combustion of 1.0 g of marshmallow.
B The combustion of 1.0 g of cashew releases the same amount of energy
as the combustion of 1.0 g of marshmallow.
C

O The combustion of 1.0 g of cashew releases more energy
than the combustion of 1.0 g of marshmallow.
D No comparison can be made because the two systems started with different masses
of food, different masses of water, and different initial temperatures.

6.

The heating curve for a sample of pure ethanol is provided above. The temperature was
recorded as a 50.0 g sample of solid ethanol was heated at a constant rate.

A O The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is less than the specific heat
capacity of liquid ethanol.
B The specific heat capacity of the gaseous ethanol is greater than the specific heat
capacity of liquid ethanol.
C The heat of vaporization of ethanol is less than the heat of fusion of ethanol.
D The heat of vaporization of ethanol is greater than the heat of fusion of ethanol.
7. A hot iron ball is dropped into a 200. g sample of water initially at 50 °C. If 8.4 kJ of heat
is transferred from the ball to the water, what is the final temperature of the water?

A 40 °C
B 51 °C
C O 60 °C
D 70 °C

B The temperature of the water changed more than the temperature of the copper.
C The temperature of the water and the copper changed by the same amount.
D The relative temperature changes of the copper and the water cannot be determined
without knowing T1 and T2 .
