A rock of mass 0.309 kg falls from rest from a height of 23.4 m into a pail containing 0.444 kg of water. The rock and water have the same initial temperature. The specific heat capacity of the rock is 1880 J/kg C°. Ignore the heat absorbed by the pail itself, and determine the rise in temperature of the rock and water in Celsius degrees.

A 218 kg rock sits in full sunlight on the edge of a cliff 5.05 m high. The temperature of the rock is 31.7 ∘C. If the rock falls from the cliff into a pool containing 5.90 m3 of water at 16.5 ∘C, what is the final temperature of the rock-water system? Assume that the specific heat of the rock is 1010 J/(kg⋅K).

An insulated aluminum calorimeter vessel of 150 g mass contains 300 g of liquid nitrogen boiling at 77 K. A metal block at an initial temperature of 303 K is dropped into the liquid nitrogen. It boils away 15.8 g of nitrogen in reaching thermal equilibrium. The block is then withdrawn from the nitrogen and quickly transferred to a second insulated copper calorimeter vessel of 200 g mass containing 500 g of water at 30.1 degrees celsius. The block coolds...

A 1.00g sample of the rocket fuel hydrazine N2H4 is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 12.00g of water. The temperature of the water and bomb calorimeter rises from 24.62 degrees Celsius to 28.16 degrees Celsius. Assuming the heat capacity of the empty bomb calorimeter is 837J/degrees Celsius, calculate the heat of combustion of 1 mol of hydrazine in the bomb calorimeter. (The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g*degree Celsius .
