THERMAL ENERGY
Thermal energy is heat energy. In equation form, heat energy is represented as a (Q). The
unit for thermal energy is Joules (J). You can determine how much heat energy is lost or
gained when the temperature of a substance changes.
The equation to solve for change in thermal energy is ΔQ=CmΔT
Q=Thermal energy (J)
C= the specific heat of the object (g x°C)
m= mass (g)
T=temperature (°C)
Solve for change in thermal energy (Q) .
1. A 10.0 g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0ºC. How
many Joules are released when the copper cools to 40.0ºC? The specific heat capacity of
copper is 0.377J/(gºC).
Q=?
C=
m=
Δt=
2. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(gºC). How much thermal energy is
required to change the temperature of 700.0 g of water from 25.6ºC to 75.4ºC?
3. How much thermal energy is released when a 201 g piece of blown glass at an initial
temperature of 150ºC is cooled to 25ºC? The specific heat capacity of glass is 0.837
J/(gºC).
4. How much heat must be absorbed by a 500 g pot of water in order to raise the
temperature of the water from 20 °C to 30 °C? (specific heat capacity of water is 4.184
J/(g°C)
5. An element has a specific heat of 0.18 J/(gºC). If 10 g of this element are heated and release 345 J of energy, what would be the resulting change in temperature?
