Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of

steam (in g) needed for the system to reach a final temperature of 40.0°C. The specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/(kg · °C).

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w} + m_{s}l=m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w} +m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

c_{w}=specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

c_{c}=specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

m_{w}=280g

m_{c}=38g

α=change in temperature

\alpha _{c}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{w}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{s}=(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make m_{s} the subject of formula

m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}

Hence

m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g

A student was traveling to see his grandmother who lives 15 miles north oh his home he started from rest and maintained a pace o
N76 [4]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 15miles north = 24140.2m

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 4m/s

Unknown:

Speed, velocity and acceleration = ?

Solution:

The speed is the distance divide by time. It is a scalar quantity and has no directional attribute.

  Speed  = \frac{distance }{time}  

  The speed of the student is 4m/s

Velocity is the displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity which specifies the direction and magnitude;

    Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

   The velocity of the student is 4m/s due north

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

     To find the acceleration, we use

      v²  = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

     4² = 0² + 2x a x 24140.2

       a  = \frac{16}{2 x 24140.2}  = 0.00033m/s²

Use differentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 4 cm in diameter if the met
ira [324]

The amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 4 cm in diameter if the metal on the top and the bottom is 0.1 cm thick and the metal on the sides is 0.05 cm thick is 8.8 cm.

The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is given below.

V = πr^2 h

Get the differential of the volume as shown:

dV = V/ h dh + V / r dr

V/ h = πr^2

V/ h  = 2  πr h

Now, the differential becomes

dV =  πr^2dh +  2πrh dr

Given the following parameters i.e. diameter and height

dh = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 cm

dr = 0.05 cm

h = 10 cm

d = 4 cm  

r = 2cm

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

dV = 3.14(2)^2(0.2)  + 2(3.14)(2)(10)(0.05)

dV = 2.512 + 6.28

dV = 8.792 cm

dV = 8.8 cm
