  • Q3
    What is the formula for calculating heat?
    Q = mcΔT
    Q = mc/tΔ
    Q = tcΔ/m
    Q = mtΔc

  • Q4
    What effect does a higher specific heat have on a substance?
    It means the substance is easier to heat up
    It means the substance can store more heat energy without its temperature changing as much
    It has no effect on the substance
    It means the substance is harder to heat up

  • Q6
    What is the specific heat of water?
    4.184 J/(g·°C)
    8.345 J/(g·°C)
    3.141 J/(g·°C)
    1.987 J/(g·°C)

  • Q7
    What is the equation for calculating the change in temperature?
    ΔT = Q/mc
    ΔT = Q/mc²
    ΔT = mc/Q
    ΔT = Q/mc₀

  • Q8
    What is the equation for calculating the mass of a substance given its specific heat, change in temperature, and heat energy absorbed or released?
    m = QcΔT
    m = Q/(cΔT)
    m = Q/(ΔT/c)
    m = cΔT/Q
