A volume of 105 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (22.00 ∘C). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘C is placed in the water. If

the final temperature of the system is 21.50 ∘C , what is the mass of the steel bar? Use the following values: specific heat of water = 4.18 J/(g⋅∘C) specific heat of steel = 0.452 J/(g⋅∘C) Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

m_{steel}=24.9g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the water is initially hot, the released heat by it is gained by the steel rod since it is initially cold which in energetic terms is illustrated by:

\Delta H_{water}=-\Delta H_{steel}

That in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change is:

m_{water}Cp_{water}(T_f-T_{water})=-m_{steel}Cp_{steel}(T_f-T_{steel})

Thus, we simply solve for the mass of the steel rod:

m_{steel}=\frac{m_{water}Cp_{water}(T_f-T_{water})}{-Cp_{steel}(T_f-T_{steel})} \\\\m_{steel}=\frac{105mL*\frac{1g}{1mL}*4.18\frac{J}{g\°C}*(21.50-22.00)\°C}{-0.452\frac{J}{g\°C}*(21.50-2.00)\°C} \\\\m_{steel}=24.9g

Best regards.

Answer:

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>

Explanation:

Heat gained by steel bar will be equal to heat lost by the water

Q_1=-Q_2

Mass of steel= m_1

Specific heat capacity of steel = c_1=0.452 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the steel = T_1=2.00^oC

Final temperature of the steel = T_2=T=21.50^oC

Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)

Mass of water= m_2= 105 g

Specific heat capacity of water=c_2=4.18 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the water = T_3=22.00^oC

Final temperature of water = T_2=T=21.50^oC

Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)-Q_1=Q_2(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=-(m_2c_2\times (T-T_3))

On substituting all values:

(m_1\times 0.452 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-2.00^oC))=-(105 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-22.00^o))\\\\m_1*8.7914=241.395\\\\m_1=\frac{219.45}{8.7914} \\\\m_1=24.9\\\\ \approx25 \texttt {grams}

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>

describe the behavior of the molecules in a liquid. Explain this behavior in terms of intermolecular forces.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Molecules in liquids are held to other molecules by intermolecular interactions, which are weaker than the intramolecular interactions that hold the atoms together within molecules and polyatomic ions.

When should a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves be worn in the laboratory?
Sever21 [200]
I would say that you should wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves when the teacher says so - not everything in a lab is dangerous, so there is no need to always wear these. But when the teacher says you should - then you should.
