Answer:

In an experiment in which blood pressure medication is tested, one group is given the blood pressure medication while the control group is given a placebo pill.

In a test of anxiety treatment, one group attends individual therapy sessions and receives a new medication. The control group receives only an inert pill.

A treatment for drug addiction is being tested. A group of meth addicts are given the treatment while the control group is given the placebo.

Researchers are testing the effectiveness of a drug intended to reduce symptoms of Crohn's disease. Many sufferers of Crohn's disease are recruited for the effort and the group that receives the placebo is the control group.

A treatment for hair loss in men is being tested. Men of the same age range are gathered. One group receives an application with the active ingredient while the control group receives an application that appears the same but does not have the active ingredient in it.

A nuclear reactor core must stay at or below 95 °C to remain in good working condition. Cool water at a temperature of 10 °C is

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{67 000 g}}$

Explanation:

This is a problem in calorimetry — the measurement of the quantities of heat that flow from one object to another.

It is based on the Law of Conservation of Energy — Energy can be transformed from one type to another, but it cannot be destroyed or created.

If heat flows out of the reactor (negative), the same amount of heat must flow into the water (positive).

Since there is no change in total energy,

heat₁ + heat₂ = 0

The symbol for the quantity of heat transferred is q, so we can rewrite the word equation as

q₁ + q₂ = 0

The formula for the heat absorbed or released by an object is

q = mCΔT, where

m = the mass of the sample

C = the specific heat capacity of the sample, and

ΔT = T_f - T_i = the change in temperature

1. Equation

There are two heat flows in this problem,

heat released by reactor + heat absorbed by water = 0

q₁ + q₂ = 0

q₁ + m₂C₂ΔT₂ = 0

2. Data:

q₁ = -23 746 kJ

m₂ = ?; C₂ = 4.184 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹; T_f = 95 °C; T_i = 10 °C

3. Calculations

(a) Convert kilojoules to joules

$q_{1} = -\text{23 746 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{1000 J}}{\text{1 kJ}} = -\text{23 746 000 J}$

(b) ΔT

ΔT₂ = T_f - T_i = 95 °C - 10 °C = 85 °C

(c) m₂

$\begin{array}{rcl}q_{1} + q_{2} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + m_{2} \times 4.184 \text{ J$^{\circ}$C$^{-1}$g$^{-1}$} \times 85 \, ^{\circ}\text{C} & = & 0\\\text{-23 746 000 J} + 356m_{2} \text{J$\cdot$g}^{-1} & = & 0\\356m_{2} \text{g}^{-1} & = & 23746000\\m_2&=& \dfrac{23746000}{\text{356 g}^{-1}}\\\\ & = & \textbf{67000 g}\\\end{array}\\$
