How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of water by 25.0°C
love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this problem, you will need to know the value of water's specific heat, which is listed as

c

=

4.18

J

g

∘

C

Now, let's assume that you don't know the equation that allows you to plug in your values and find how much heat would be needed to heat that much water by that many degrees Celsius.

Take a look at the specific heat of water. As you know, a substance's specific heat tells you how much heat is needed in order to increase the temperature of

1 g

of that substance by

1

∘

C

.

In water's case, you need to provide

4.18 J

of heat per gram of water to increase its temperature by

1

∘

C

.

What if you wanted to increase the temperature of

1 g

of water by

2

∘

C

? You'd need to provide it with

Now let's say that you wanted to cause a

4.18 J

This means that in order to increase the temperature of

m

grams of water by

n

∘

C

, you need to provide it with

n

This will account for increasing the temperature of the first gram of the sample by

n

∘

C

, of the the second gram by

n

∘

C

, of the third gram by

n

∘

C

, and so on until you reach

m

grams of water.

And there you have it. The equation that describes all this will thus be

T

, where

q

- heat absorbed

m

- the mass of the sample

c

- the specific heat of the substance

Δ

- the change in temperature, defined as final temperature minus initial temperature

In your case, you will have

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

74^{\circ} C

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass,m=300 g

T_1=23^{\circ}

Volume,V=236cm^3

Mass of water=density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g

Density of water=1g/cm^3

Temperature of hot water,T=87^{\circ}

Specific heat of glass,C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water,C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C

Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)

Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)

Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0

300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)

60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0

296T_f=20532+1380=21912

T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C
