Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.57 Temperature Change and Heating and Cooling skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
Which pair of results most clearly shows the effect of mass within one material?
A100 g water changes 6 degrees C and 100 g oil changes 10 degrees C
B100 g oil changes 10 degrees C and 200 g water changes 3 degrees C
C100 g water changes 6 degrees C and 200 g water changes 3 degrees C
D100 g sand changes 12 degrees C and 100 g oil changes 10 degrees C
Solution & Explanation:The material stays the same while the mass changes, so this pair isolates mass.
Problem 2Difficulty: Medium
A liquid warms from 17 degrees C to 29 degrees C. What is the temperature change in degrees C?
Solution & Explanation:The temperature change is 29 - 17 = 12 degrees C.
Problem 3Difficulty: Medium
Which comparison best shows the effect of type of matter during cooling?
A100 g water and 200 g water starting at the same temperature in the same room
B100 g water and 100 g oil starting at the same temperature in the same room
C100 g oil and 200 g oil starting at the same temperature in the same room
D100 g water and 100 g oil starting at different temperatures in different rooms
Solution & Explanation:Equal masses, equal starting temperatures, and the same room isolate the effect of material type during cooling.
