Reflection:
1. I learned that we must first understand the fundamental laws and concepts of
thermodynamics, to be able to understand and perform any sort of thermodynamic
calculation.
2. I enjoyed most on reading the background information for the learners.
3. I want to learn more on solving different problems regarding thermodynamics.

1. Melting – Endothermic
2. Sublimation of naphthalene balls – Endothermic
3. Thermal decomposition – Endothermic
4. Dissolving ammonium chloride in water – Endothermic
5. Photosynthesis – Endothermic
6. Cellular Respiration – Exothermic
7. Water freezes into ice cube – Exothermic
8. Rusting Iron – Exothermic
9. Burning of candles – Exothermic
10. Setting of cements and concrete – Exothermic
Activity 2: Solve the following
1. How many joules are needed to warm 25.5 grams of water from 14℃ to 22.5℃?
(Note that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18J/g℃)
q = (m) (c) (∆T)
= (25.5g) (4.18J/g℃) (22.5℃ -14℃ )
= 906. 015J
2. How many joules are released when 75 grams of water are cooled from 100℃ to 27.5
℃?
q = (m) (c) (∆T)
= (75g) (4.18J/g℃) (100℃ -27.5℃ )
= 22,728.75J

3. If 1.13× 10 J of heat is added to a water sample and temperature rises from 88.0℃ to
its boiling point, what mass of water is in the sample?
𝑞
m= 𝑐 (∆𝑇)
4
1.13×10 𝐽
= 4.18𝐽/𝑔℃ (100℃− 88.0℃)
= 225.28g
4. How much heat would be needed to warm 250 grams of gold from 25℃ to 100℃ if
the specific heat capacity of gold is 0.128J/ g℃?
q = (m) (c) (∆T)
= (250g) (0.128J/g℃) (100℃ -25℃ )

5. What is the temperature change if 1.386× 10 J is absorbed by 60.0 grams of copper
with specific heat capacity of 0.385J/g℃?
𝑞

Reflection:
1. I learned that there are 2 types of reaction which is the endothermic and the
exothermic. Endothermic is characterized by or formed with absorption of heat while
the exothermic is characterized or formed with evolution of heat.
2. I enjoyed most on reading the background information for the learners.
3. I want to learn more on solving different problems in this topic.
