67. A 42.9-g sample of cobalt (s = 0.421 J/(g · °C)), initially at 157.2°C, is placed in an
insulated vessel containing 120.9 g of water (s = 4.18 J/(g · °C)), initially at 19.2°C. Once
equilibrium is reached, what is the final temperature of the metal–water mixture? Neglect
the heat capacity of the vessel.
68. How much heat must be applied to a 18.3-g sample of iron (s = 0.449 J/(g · °C)) in order to
raise its temperature from 23.8°C to 356.6°C?
69. A 94.7-g sample of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g · °C)), initially at 348.25°C, is added to an
insulated vessel containing 143.6 g of water (s = 4.18 J/(g · °C)), initially at 13.97°C. At
equilibrium, the final temperature of the metal–water mixture is 22.63°C. How much heat
was absorbed by the water? The heat capacity of the vessel is 0.244 kJ/°C.
70. A 500-cm3 sample of 1.0 M NaOH(aq) is added to 500 cm3 of 1.0 M HCl(aq) in a
Styrofoam cup, and the solution is quickly stirred. The rise in temperature (T1) is
measured. The experiment is repeated using 100 cm3 of each solution, and the rise in
temperature (T2) is measured. What conclusion can you draw about T1 and T2?
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq); H° = –55.8 kJ
