The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.
Answer:
c = 0.898 J/g.°C
Explanation:
1) Given data:
Mass of water = 23.0 g
Initial temperature = 25.4°C
Final temperature = 42.8° C
Heat absorbed = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C
ΔT = 42.8°C - 25.4°C
ΔT = 17.4°C
Q = 23.0 g × × 4.18 J/g°C × 17.4°C
Q = 1672.84 j
2) Given data:
Mass of metal = 120.7 g
Initial temperature = 90.5°C
Final temperature = 25.7 ° C
Heat released = 7020 J
Specific heat capacity of metal = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 25.7°C - 90.5°C
ΔT = -64.8°C
7020 J = 120.7 g × c × -64.8°C
7020 J = -7821.36 g.°C × c
c = 7020 J / -7821.36 g.°C
c = 0.898 J/g.°C
Negative sign shows heat is released.
Answer:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
