Introduction: The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of that substan

ce by 1 °C. Specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation:
q = mc deltaT
In the equation q represents the amount of heat energy gained or lost in joules), m is the mass of the substance (in grams), c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g °C), and AT is the temperature change of the substance in °C).
Goal: Calculate the specific heat capacities of copper, granite, lead, and ice.
Solve: When you mix two substances, the heat gained by one substance is equal to the heat lost by the other substance. Suppose you place 125 g of aluminum in a calorimeter with 1,000 g of water. The water changes temperature by 2 °C and the aluminum changes temperature by -74.95 °C.
A. Water has a known specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/g °C. Use the specific heat equation to find out how much heat energy the water gained (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. Aluminum's accepted specific heat value is 0.900 J/g °C. Use this value to check your work.

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)

  • which is pretty close to the Aluminum's accepted specific heat value of 0.900 J/gºC.

Distinguish between friction force and motion?
Ksju [112]

Friction force is when you rub 2 things together and they get warm. Motion, on the other hand, is if your walking along the sidewalk - you hardly get warmer -------


Unless it's a colder day outside and you're walking SO you decide to rub your hands together to get warm, but if you were just walking , its motion and only motion - no friction :):)

A syringe containing 1.54 ml of oxygen gas is cooled from 92.8 ∘c to 0.4 ∘c. what is the final volume vf of oxygen gas? (assume
Andrews [41]
Givens
=====
Ti = 92.8 oC = 92.8 + 273 = 365.8
T2 = 0.4 oC = 0.4 + 273 = 273.4

Vi = 1.54 mL
Vf = ?????

Formula
======
Vi/Ti = Vf / Tf
1.54 / 365.8 = Vf / 273.4

Calculations
=========
1.54 * 273.4 / 355.8 = Vf
vf = 1.15 mL

Comment
=======
if your teacher is concerned about sig digs, the answer is 1 mL. I'm not sure how to show that it is 1 sig dig. You can ask about this.

How do you graph distance and time for an object that moves at a constant speed?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It would be a straight line

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, an object that moves at constant speed would be represented by a straight line.

In fact, in a distance-time graph, the slope of the line corresponds to the speed of the object. We can demonstrate that. In fact:

- The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (\Delta s) and the time taken (\Delta t):

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

On a distance-time graph, the distance is on the y-axis while the time is on the x-axis. The slope of the line is defined as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

But the variation on the y-axis (\Delta y) is equal to the distance covered (\Delta s), while the variation on the x-axis (\Delta x) corresponds to the time taken (\Delta t), so the slope can also be rewritten as

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which is equal to the speed of the object. Therefore, an object moving at constant speed would be represented by a line with constant slope, which means a straight line.
