Question

Please help i'm going to throw up from stress

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, I used the specific heat of water as 4182 J/(kgC) and the specific heat of ethyl alcohol (EtOH) as 2440 J/(kgC); that means that we need the masses in kg, not g.

120.g = .1200 kg of ethyl alcohol. Now for the formula:

$t_f=\frac{(m_{H2O}*spheat_{H2O}*temp_{H2O})+(m_{EtOH}*spheat_{EtOH}*temp_{EtOH})}{(m_{H2O}*spheat_{H2O})+(m_{EtOH}*spheat_{EtOH})}$ where spheat is specific heat.

Filling that horrifying-looking formula in with some values:

$16.0=\frac{(x*4182*20.0)+(.1200*2440*10.0)}{(x*4182)+(.1200*2440)}$ and

$16.0=\frac{83640x+2928}{4182x+292.8}$ and

16(4182x + 292.8) = 83640x + 2928 and

66912x + 4684.8 = 83640x + 2928 and

1756.8 = 16728x so

x = .105 kg and the amount of water added is 105 g
