A 23.9 g sample of iridium is heated to 89.7 oC, and then dropped into 20.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperat

ure of the water went from 20.1 oC to 22.6 oC. Calculate the specific heat of iridium. (specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g oC).

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of iridium = 0.130 J/g°C

Explanation:

Assuming no heat losses to the environment and to the calorimeter,

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

Heat lost by the iridium sample = mC ΔT

m = mass of iridium = 23.9 g

C = specific heat capacity of the iridium = ?

ΔT = change in temperature of the iridium = 89.7 - 22.6 = 67.1°C

Heat lost by the iridium sample = (23.9)(C)(67.1) = (1603.69 C) J

Heat gained by water = mC ΔT

m = mass of water = 20.0 g

C = 4.18 J/g°C

ΔT = 22.6 - 20.1 = 2.5°C

Heat gained by water = 20 × 4.18 × 2.5 = 209 J

Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water

1603.69C = 209

C = (209/1603.69) = 0.130 J/g°C

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.13J/g°C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The mixture of the Iridium in water is in a thermo-equilibrium since no heat is lost to the environment. i.e The heat lost (-H_{I}) by Iridium is equal to the heat gained (H_{W}) by water. This can be represented as follows;

- H_{I} = H_{W}                          --------------------------(i)

The negative sign shows that heat is lost to the environment...

<em>But;</em>

H_{I} = m_{I} C_{I} ΔT_{I}                --------------------------(ii)

Where;

m_{I} = mass of Iridium

C_{I} = specific heat capacity of Iridium

ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of Iridium = T_{I2} - T_{I1}

T_{I2} = final temperature of Iridium

T_{I1} = initial temperature of Iridium

<em>Also;</em>

H_{W} = m_{W} C_{W} ΔT_{W}            ------------------------(iii)

Where;

m_{W} = mass of water

C_{W} = specific heat capacity of water

ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of water = T_{W2} - T_{W1}

T_{W2} = final temperature of water

T_{W1} = initial temperature of water

<em>From the question;</em>

m_{I} = 23.9g

C_{I} = ?

T_{I2} = 22.6°C      [the same as the final temperature of water]

T_{I1} = 89.7°C

ΔT_{I} = 22.6°C - 89.7°C = -67.1°C

m_{W} = 20.0g

C_{W} = 4.18 J/g °C

T_{W2} = 22.6°C    

T_{W1} = 20.1°C

ΔT_{W} = 22.6°C - 20.1°C = 2.5°C

<em>Substitute the values of </em>H_{W}<em> and </em>H_{W}<em> into equation (i)</em>

- m_{I} C_{I} ΔT_{I} = m_{W} C_{W} ΔT_{W}   -------------------------------(iv)

<em>Now substitute the values of all the variables in equation(iv) into the same;</em>

- 23.9 x C_{I} x - 67.1 = 20.0 x 4.18 x 2.5

1603.69C_{I} = 209

<em>Then, solve for </em>C_{I}<em>;</em>

C_{I} = \frac{209}{1603.69}

C_{I} = 0.13

Therefore, the specific heat of Iridium is 0.13J/g°C

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Each student exert a force of F=400 N

Let mass of car be m

there are 18 students who lifts the car

Total force by 18 students F=18\times 400=7200 N

therefore weight of car W=7200

mass of car m=\frac{W}{g}

m=\frac{7200}{9.8}=734.69 kg

(b)7200 N \approx 1618.624\ Pound-force

734.69 kg\approx 1619.71 Pounds

Using the formula F = m*a. where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration you can use it for each. As long as there are no other forces towards the body in both cases :
F = m*a
F = 50*3
F = 150 N
