A 15.7-g aluminum block is warmed to 53.2 °c and plunged into an insulated beaker containing 32.5 g of water initially at 24.5 °

c. the aluminum and the water are allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. assuming that no heat is lost, what is the final temperature of the water and the aluminum?

Answer: 27.2 °C


Explanation:


1) Physical principles:

a) First law of thermodynamics: energy is conserved

b) Insulated system ⇒ no heat is lost ⇒ Q gained by water = Q lost by aluminiun

c) Thermal equilibrium: final temperature of water = final temperature of aluminum.


2) Formula:

Q (gained or released) = m×Cs×ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature


3) Data:

  • mass aluminum, Ma = 15.7g
  • Ti,a = 53.2 °C
  • mass water, Mw = 32.5 g
  • Ti,w = 24.5°C

4) Information from tables (internet)

  • Specific heat liquid water: Cs = 1 cal/g°C
  • Specific heat aluminum: Cs = 0.215 cal/g°C

5) Solution:


  • Q water = Q aluminun

  • Qwater = Mw×Cs×ΔT = 32.5g (1 cal/g°C) (Tf - 24.5°C)

  • Q aluminum = Ma×Cs×ΔT = 15.7g (0.215cal/g°C) (53.2°C - Tf)
          ⇒ 32.5g (1 cal/g°C) (Tf - 24.5°C) = 15.7g (0.215cal/g°C) (53.2°C - Tf)

   

    ⇒ 32.5Tf - 796.25 = 179.5766 - 3.3755Tf

   

    ⇒ 35.8755Tf = 975.8266 ⇒ Tf = 27.2°C  ← answer

The equilibrium temperature of aluminium and water is 33.2°C

We know that specific heat of aluminium is 0.9 J/gm-K, and that of water is 1 J/gm-K

Now we can calculate the equilibrium temperature

(mc∆T)_aluminium=(mc∆T)_water

15.7*0.9*(53.2-T)=32.5*1*(T-24.5)

T=33.2°C

What is a materials ability to be dissolved in a solvent
weeeeeb [17]
Answer: Solubility

Solubility is the ability to be dissolved. Saturation is when the concentration is too high(more than solubility) that when you add another material it won't dissolve. Solute is the material that dissolved. Solvent is the material that used for dissolving

A 0.80 kg object tied to the end of a 2.0 m string swings as a pendulum. At the lowest point of its swing, the object has a kine
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.32 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of mechanical and kinetic energy should be equal to the 10 J given. Potential energy is given by mgh where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height. For this case, h= l(1-cos\theta) and l is string length, given as 2 m, \theta is given as 50 degrees. Kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2} and it is this velocity that is unknown.

10J=0.5\times 0.8kg\times v^{2}+ 0.8kg\times 9.81\times 2m(1-cos 50^{\circ})\\v\approx 3.32 m/s
