When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equalto the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place

125 g of aluminum ina calorimeter with 1,000 g of water. The water changes temperature by 2 °C andthe aluminum changes temperature by â74.95 °C.
Required:
a. Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Usethe specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the watergained (q).
b. Assume that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the heat energy lost by the aluminum. Use the specific heat equation to solve for the specific heat of aluminum. (Hint: Because heat energy is lost, the value of q is negative.)

Answer:

A) 8,368 J

B) 0.893 J/gºC

Explanation:

A)

  • The heat gained by the water can be obtained solving the following equation:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T (1)

  • where cw = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/gºC
  • m= mass of water = 1,000 g
  • ΔT = 2ºC
  • Replacing these values in (1) we get:

       q_{g} = c_{w} * m *  \Delta T = 4.184 J/gºC*1,000 g* 2ºC = 8,368 J (2)

B)

  • Assuming that the heat energy gained by the water is equal to the one lost by the aluminum, we can use the same equation, taking into account that the energy is lost by the aluminum, so the sign is negative:  -8,368 J.
  • Replacing by the mass of aluminum (125 g), and the change in temperature (-74.95ºC), in (1), we can solve for the specific heat of aluminum, as follows:

       q_{l} = c_{Al} * m_{Al} *  \Delta T  (3)

⇒    -8,368 J = c_{Al}* 125 g * (-74.95ºC) (4)

       c_{Al} = \frac{-8,368J}{125g*(-74.95ºC} = 0.893 J/gºC (5)

VMariaS [17]
<h2>Movement of Continents</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegener was a German astronomer who proposed the "continental drift" hypothesis in 1910.
  • Alfred Wegener was not able to explain the movements of the continent in how and in which way they are moved.
  • He failed in an attempt to explain with the use of tides made the theory undefinable fully.
  • Also, the major problem with Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was that there was no proper explanation of a mechanism.

A single mass (m1 = 3.5 kg) hangs from a spring in a motionless elevator. The spring constant is k = 278 N/m. 1)What is the dist
artcher [175]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.126m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to Hooke's law, the force (F) acting on a spring to cause an extension or compression (e) is given by;

F = k x e            -------------------(i)

Where;

k = the spring's constant.

From the question, the force acting on the spring is the weight(W) of the mass. i.e

F = W               -----------------------(ii)

<em>But;</em>

W = m x g;

where;

m = mass of the object

g = acceleration due to gravity [usually taken as 10m/s²]

<em>From equation (ii), it implies that;</em>

F = W = m x g

<em>Now substitute F = m x g into equation(i) as follows;</em>

F = k x e

m x g = k x e      ------------------(iii)

<em>From the question;</em>

m = m1 = 3.5kg

k = 278N/m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

3.5 x 10 = 278 x e

35 = 278e

<em>Now solve for e;</em>

e = 35/278

e = 0.126m

Therefore, the distance the spring is stretched from its unstretched length (which is the same as the extension of the spring) is 0.126m
