A 30.5 g sample of an alloy at 95.0°C is placed into 49.3 g water at 24.3°C in an insulated coffee cup. The heat capacity of the

coffee cup (without the water) is 9.2 J/K. If the final temperature of the system is 31.1°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the alloy? (c of water is 4.184 J/g×K)

Answer:

0.752 J/g*K

Explanation:

The heat lost by the alloy (which is negative) must be equal to the heat gained by the water and the coffee cup:

-Qa = Qw + Qc

-ma*ca*ΔTa = mw*cw*ΔTw + C*ΔTc

Where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, C is the heat capacity of the coffee cup, ΔT is the change in temperature, a represents the alloy, and w the water.

The coffee cup has initial temperature equal to the water, then:

-30.5*ca*(31.1 - 95.0) = 49.3*4.184*(31.1 - 24.3) + 9.2*(31.1 - 24.3)

1948.95ca = 1465.20

ca = 0.752 J/g*K

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as ________ understanding the reaction?
777dan777 [17]
Hello!

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as Stoichiometrically understanding the reaction.

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The first to talk about stoichiometry was Jeremias Benjamin Ritcher, who said that "Stoichiometry is the science that measures the quantitative proportions or mass ratios of chemical elements that are involved in a chemical reaction".

To calculate how much of a product is produced in a reaction, Stoichiometry is used, applying the law of conservation of mass. That means that the amount of product can be calculated from the amounts of reactants if they are known.
