Energy in Thermal Processes

Temperature and heat

• Heat (Q): energy transferred between a system and its environment because of a temperature difference that exists between them

• SI Unit: Joule

• Alternative unit: calorie (cal): Jcal 1868.4 1

Absorption of heat

• Specific heat (c): heat capacity per unit mass

• Common states (phases) of matter: solid, liquid, gas

• Latenet heat (L): the amount of energy per unit mass transferred during a phase change (boiling, condensation, melting, freezing, etc.)

A 100-g aluminum calorimeter contains 250 g of water. The two substances are in thermal equilibrium at 10°C. Two metallic blocks are placed in the water. One is a 50-g piece of copper at 80°C. The other sample has a mass of 70 g and is originally at a temperature of 100°C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20°C. Determine the specific heat of the unknown second sample.
