Consider the following specific heats of metals. If the same amount of heat is added to 50.0 g samples of each of the metals, which are all at the same temperature, which metal will reach the lowest temperature? Metal Specific Heat (J/g?°C) Alimunum 0.900 Copper 0.385 Iron 0.449 silver 0.235 A. Al B. Cu C. Fe D. Ag E. They will reach to the same temperature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. What type of a reaction occurs when an acetic acid solution is mixed with a potassium hydroxide solution? A. oxidation-reduction B. acid-base neutralization C. precipitation D. gas evolution E. no reaction Solution # .Heat = mass × specific heat × change in temp. So, change in temp. = Heat / mass×specific heat . So by knowing the specific heat of each metal and the heat of the system , the Change in temp. can be calculated and then the lowest temperature metal can be detected. 18 . CH3COOH (acetic acid) + KOH ( potassium hydroxide) = CH3COOK (potassium acetate) + H2O . This is an acid - base neutralisation reaction where acetic acid is weak acid and KOH is strong base. Hence (B) is correct. .
