Specific Heat worksheet answers

1. Gold
2. Pure water
3. Silver because it has a lower specific heat, so better conductor
4. Aluminum
5. 20,920 J
6. At the same temperature, the larger mass of water contains more thermal energy
7. concrete has a lower specific heat so it heats up faster given the same energy input
8. Do this one after the calorimetry lab and it will be easy.
9. Figure this one out on your own. :)

back side
1. 323 J
2. 588 J
3. 2243 J
4. The gold would cool down fastest. It has to release only 323 J of energy to return to its original temp.
5. 711,280 J
6. 440,000 J
7. 5.6 degrees
8. 4,393,200 J
9. we will do this one next week.
