5. Specific Heat  Remember, specific heat is the amount of energy that must be transferred as heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1K or 1°C.  The amount of energy depends on: The nature of the material The mass of the material The size of the temperature change

6. Calculating Specific Heat  The specific heat of a substance at a given pressure is calculated by the formula: C p = q_____ (m) (ΔT) C p is the specific heat at a given pressure q is the energy transferred as heat (Joules) m is the mass of the substance (grams) ΔT if the difference between the initial and final temperatures (K)

7. Sample Problem B, pg. 61  A 4.0 g sample of glass was heated from 274 K to 314 K and was found to absorb 32 J of energy as heat. Calculate the specific heat of this glass. C p = q_____ (m) (ΔT) q = 32 J m = 4.0 g ΔT = 314K – 274K = 40 K 0.20 J/gK (2 sig figs)

8. Practice #1, pg. 61  Calculate the specific heat of a substance if a 35 g sample absorbs 48 J as the temperature is raised from 293 K to 313 K. C p = q_____ (m) (ΔT) q = 48 J m = 35 g ΔT = 313K – 293K = 20 K 0.069 J/gK (2 sig figs)

9. Scientific Notation  Chemists often make measurements and perform calculations using very large or very small numbers.  To make calculations with these numbers easier, scientists use scientific notation.  In scientific notation, the exponent on the number 10 tells how many places the decimal point moves.

10. T To change a number into scientific notation, follow these steps: 1.Put a decimal point after the first non-zero digit. 2.Add a multiplication sign and then the number 10. 3.Count how many spaces the decimal point moved and make that the exponent on the number 10. 4.If the original number was less than 1, the sign on the exponent is negative! 5.If the original number was more than 1, the sign on the exponent is positive!

11. Scientific Notation Examples Write the following in scientific notation: 1. 123,000 grams 1.23 X 10 5 grams 2. 9,125,600 liters 9.1256 X 10 6 liters 3. 0.000931 meters 9.31 X 10 -4 meters

12. Scientific Notation with Sig Figs  Scientific notation eliminates non-significant zeros. 2,400 meters 2.4 X 10 3 meters (the two 0’s are NOT significant)  When doing calculations, the answer must contain the correct # of sig figs.  5.44 X 10 7 = 671.6049383 8.1 X 10 4 6.7 X 10 2 (2 sig figs)
