The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.
Answer:
The solution's new volume is 1.68 L
Explanation:
Dilution is the procedure to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one, and simply consists of adding more solvent. So, in a dilution the amount of solute does not vary, but the volume of the solvent varies.
In summary, a dilution is a lower concentration solution than the original.
The way to do the calculations in a dilution is through the expression:
Ci*Vi=Cf*Vf
where C and V are concentration and volume, respectively; and the i and f subscripts indicate initial and final respectively.
In this case, being:
- Ci= 7 M
- Vi= 0.60 L
- Cf= 2.5 M
- Vf=?
Replacing:
7 M*0.60 L= 2.5 M* Vf
Solving:

Vf= 1.68 L
<u><em>The solution's new volume is 1.68 L</em></u>
Total in pot=28 L
400 mL in each bowl
16 bowls filled
1000mL=1L
16 bowls(400mL/1 bowl)=6400mL
6400mL(1L/1000mL)=6.4L
28L-6.4L=21.6 L
