Question

6. An unknown material has a normal melting/freezing point of 225.0 °C, and the liquid

Answer 1

Answer:

19.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant that the melting/freezing point is -25.0 °C.

Heat gained by the unknown material = heat lost by the oil and aluminum

mL + mCΔT = -(mCΔT + mCΔT)

First, let's find the amount of heat gained by the unknown material:

(0.100 kg) L + (0.100 kg) (160 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − (-25.0°C))

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J

The heat lost by the oil:

(0.100 kg) (2430 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − 27.0°C)

-1701 J

The heat lost by the aluminum:

(0.150 kg) (910 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − 27.0°C)

-955.5 J

Therefore:

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J = -(-1701 J + (-955.5 J))

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J = 2656.5 J

(0.100 kg) L = 1936.5 J

L = 19365 J/kg

L = 19.4 kJ/kg
