The amount of heat lost by granite is equal to the amount
of heat gained by water. Therefore their change in enthalpies must be equal.
The opposite in sign means that one is gaining while the other is losing
ΔH granite = - ΔH water
ΔH is the change in enthalpy experienced by a closed object
as it undergoes change in energy. This is expressed mathematically as,
ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)
Given this information, we can say that:
12.5 g * 0.790 J / g ˚C * (T2 – 82 ˚C) =
- 25.0 g * 4.18 J / g ˚C
* (T2 – 22 ˚C)
9.875 (T2 – 82) = 104.5 (22 – T2)
9.875 T2 – 809.75 = 2299 – 104.5 T2
114.375 T2 = 3108.75
T2 = 27.18 ˚C
The temperature of 2 objects after reaching thermal
equilibrium is 27.18 ˚<span>C.</span>
It's a mixture of H2O + a soluble substance like, salt.
Maple syrup would be categorized under solutions. As it contains sugar which is very soluble in water, it dissolves completely in water depending on its solubility at that temperature making it impossible for the components to be filtered out. A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
