GENERAL CHEMISTRY I WITH LAB
CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED A+
● Calorimetry. Answer: The precise measurement of heat flow out of a
system for chemical and physical processes
● heat flow. Answer: A form of energy transfer (expressed in joules, J)
that occurs when an object or system at a higher temperature has thermal
contact with an object or system at a lower temperature.
● Closed.. Answer: What type of system did we use in class for the
calorimetry experiment?
● Specfic heat (J/gxK). Answer: The amount of heat energy required to
raise the temperature of a 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree Celsius
● q = Cs x m x ΔT where ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial. Answer: What is the
heat equation relating specific heat (Cs), mass (m), and change in
temperature (ΔT)?
● 4.184 J/gxK. Answer: What is the specific heat of water?
, ● q(water) = -q(metal) due to the heat leaving the metal.
C(water) x m(water) x ΔT(water) = -[C(metal) x m(metal) x ΔT(metal)].
Answer: If a hot metal is placed in water, how can we describe the heat
transfer from the metal to the water? (two equations)
● 25/Cs in J/gxK. Answer: What is the equation for the law of Dulong
and Petit to find the atomic mass if the specific heat is known?
● A. water
B. water
C. Solution. Answer: What were the surroundings in each part?
● A. metal
B. salt
C. reaction. Answer: What was the system in each part?
● Surroudings. Answer: everything outside the system
● System. Answer: A group of interacting, interrelated, or
interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to
accomplish a goal.
