Answer:
It will be reported too low.
Explanation:
To measure the specific heat of the metal (s), the calorimeter may be used. In it, the metal will exchange heat with the water, and they will reach thermal equilibrium. Because it can be considered an isolated system (there're aren't dissipations) the total amount of heat (lost by metal + gained by water) must be 0.
Qmetal + Qwater = 0
Qmetal = -Qwater
The heat is the mass multiplied by the specific heat multiplied by the temperature change. If c is the specific heat of the water:
m_metal*s*ΔT_metal = - m_water *c*ΔT_water
s = -m_water *c*ΔT_water / m_metal*ΔT_metal
So, if m_water is now less than it was supposed to be, s will be reported too low, because they are directly proportional.
Answer: 15062.4 Joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)
Thus, Q = MCΦ
Since,
Q = ?
Mass of food = 200.0g
C = 4.184 j/g°C
Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)
= 83.0°C - 65.0°C = 18°C
Then, Q = MCΦ
Q = 200.0g x 4.184 j/g°C x 18°C
Q = 15062.4 J
Thus, 15062.4 joules of heat energy was contained in the food.
To find the mole of a substance, you take the mass divided by the molar mass of that substance~
