Answer: The final temperature of nickel and water is 
.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Mass of water, m = 55.0 g,
Initial temp, 
,
Final temp, 
= ?,
Specific heat of water = 4.184 
,
Now, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.
q = 
= 
Also,
mass of Ni, m = 15.0 g,
Initial temperature, 
,
Final temperature, 
= ?
Specific heat of nickel = 0.444
Hence, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.
q =
= 
Therefore, heat energy lost by the alloy is equal to the heat energy gained by the water.
= -()
=
Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of nickel and water is .
Answer:
a. 123.9°C
b.
c.
Explanation:
Hello, I'm attaching a picture with the numerical development of this exercise.
a. Since the steam is overheated vapour, the specific volume is gotten from the corresponding table. Then, as it became a saturated vapour, we look for the interval in which the same volume of state 1 is, then we interpolate and get the temperature.
b. Now, at 80°C, since it is about a rigid tank (constant volume for every thermodynamic process), the specific volume of the mixture is 0.79645 m^3/kg as well, so the specific volume for the liquid and the vapour are taken into account to get the quality of 0.234.
c. Now,since this is an isocoric process, the heat transfer per kg of steam is computed as the difference in the internal energy, considering the initial condition (showed in a. part) and the final one computed here.
** The thermodynamic data were obtained from Cengel's thermodynamics book 7th edition.
Best regards.
