Determine the specific heat of a 213.0 g piece of metal in J/g•°C if the temperature of the metal drops from 70.2 °C to 25.6 °C

when placed in a calorimeter with 250.0 mL of water at an initial temperature of 22.5 °C (specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g•K).

Answer:

0.3415 J/g °C

Explanation:

M1 = 213.0g

c1 = ?

T1 = 70.2°C

T3 = 25.6 °C

T2 = 22.5°C

C2 = 4.186 J/g°C

Vol. of water = 250mL = 250cm³

p (density of water ) = 1g/L

p = mass / volume

mass (m) = density (p) * volume (v)

m = 1 * 250 = 250g

Heat loss by metal = heat gain by water

Q1 = Q2

Mc∇T = Mc∇T

Mc (T1 - T3) = Mc* (T3 - T2)

213 * c * (70.2 - 25.6) = 250 * 4.186 * (25.6 - 22.5)

(213 * 44.6)c = 1046.5 * 3.1

9499c = 3244.15

c = 0.3415 J/g.°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.3415 J/g °C

Combustion will cause a chemical change in paper.

This is because the carbon compounds are being oxidized into carbon dioxide and water vapour (or h2o, same thing).

How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of water with mass of 27.0 g at 20.0°C to 45.0°C?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

2835 J

Explanation:

Take the specific heat capacity of water as 4.2 J/ g°C.

Energy (heat) = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature

(E= mcΔT)

E = 27 x 4.2 x (45-20)

E = 2835 J
