35.5 grams of an unknown substance is heated to 103.0 degrees Celsius and then placed into a calorimeter containing 100.0 grams

of water at 24.0 degrees Celsius. If the final temperature reached in the calorimeter is 29.5 degrees Celsius, what is the specific heat of the unknown substance?

Answer:

Specific heat of the unknown substance is 0.881 J/gC

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of unknown substance, m(s) = 35.5 g

Initial temperature of the substance, T1 = 103 C

Mass of water, m(w) = 100 g

Initial temperature of water, T1 = 24 C

Final temperature of solution, T2 = 29.5 C

<u>Formula:</u>

Heat (q) absorbed or evolved by a substance is given as:

q = mc\Delta T = mc(T_{2}-T_{1})----(1)

where, m = mass of the substance

c = specific heat

ΔT = change in temperature

<u>Calculation:</u>

Heat lost by the unknown substance = heat gained by water

Based on equation (1) we have:

Heat lost by the unknown substance = -m(s)*c(s)*ΔT

= -35.5*c*(29.5-103) = 2609.25c

heat gained by water = -m(w)*c(w)*ΔT=100*4.18*(29.5-24) =2299

Therefore,

2609.25c = 2299

c = 0.881 J/g C

<span>delta t for water = 29.5 - 24.0 = 5.5 C heat gained by water = 4.18 J/gC x 100.0 g x 5.5 C = 2300 J sp ht = J/m dt = 2300 J / (35.5 g x 73.5) = 0.89 J/gC<span>

The bomb calorimeter in Exercise 102 is filled with 987g water. The initial temperature of the calorimeter contents is 23.32. A
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

25.907°C

Explanation:

In Exercise 102, heat capacity of bomb calorimeter is 6.660 kJ/°C

The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is equivalent to the total heat energy released to the bomb calorimeter and water in the calorimeter.

Thus:

-q_{combust} = q_{water} + q_{calori}

q_{combust} = heat of combustion of benzoic acid

q_{water} = heat energy released to water

q_{calori} = heat energy released to the calorimeter

Therefore,

-m_{combust}*H_{combust} = [m_{water}*c_{water} + C_{calori}]*(T_{f} - T_{i})

1.056*26.42 = [0.987*4.18 + 6.66](T_{f} - 23.32)

27.8995 = [4.12566+6.660](T_{f} - 23.32)

(T_{f} - 23.32) = 27.8995/10.7857 = 2.587

T_{f} = 23.32 + 2.587 = 25.907°C
