Water containing more than 3.0 grains of dissolved solids per gallon is considered to be hard [1 grain (gr) = 64.8 mg]. So, if a

kettle contains 18 gal of tap water, which is allowed to evaporate. The solid material left behind has a mass of 1.7 g. Is such tap water considered to be hard?

Answer:

  • <em><u>Yes, such tap water is considered to be hard.</u></em>

Explanation:

The <em>solid material left behind</em>, after the <em>18 gal of tap water</em> was <em>evaporated,</em> is the amount of dissolved solids in that quantity of water.

You must convert the amount in grams (1.7g) into grains:

  • 17.g × 1,000mg/g × 1 gr/64.8mg = 262.34 gr

That is in 18 gallons. Then, divide by 18 gal to obtain the number of grains dissolved per gallon:

  • 262.34gr / 18 gal ≈ 15 gr per gallon.

That is much greater than 3.0 grains per gallon; thus,<em> such tap water is considered to be hard.</em>

A fuel was burned for 5 min, increasing the temperature of 10.0 g of water with a density of 1.00 g/ml by 9.0 oC. The fuel relea
jekas [21]

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Let suppose that water experiments an entirely <em>sensible</em> heating. Hence, the heat released by the fuel is equal to the heat <em>absorbed</em> by the water because of principle of energy conservation. The heat <em>released</em> by the fuel is expressed by the following formula:

Q = m\cdot c \cdot \Delta T (1)

Where:

  • m - Mass of the sample, in grams.
  • c - Specific heat of water, in calories per gram-degree Celsius.
  • \Delta T - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

If we know that m = 10\,g, c = 1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \Delta T = 9\,^{\circ}C, then the heat released by the fuel is:

Q = (10\,g)\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (9\,^{\circ}C)

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.
