Question

An eccentric chemistry professor (not mentioning any names) stops in every day and orders 200ml of Sumatran coffee at precisely 75.0°C. You then need to add enough milk at 5.00°C to drop the temperature of the coffee, initially at 95.0°C, to the ordered temperature.

Answer 1

Answer:

68.97g of milk must be added

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the equation:

Q = C*m*ΔT -Coffee cup calorimeter equation-

This equation relates mass and change in temperature with heat of solution, Q.

The energy that decreases in the milk is the same that increases in the milk. That is:

Q(milk) = Q(tea)

Using the equation:

4.184J/molK* Mass milk * (65.0°C - 7.00°C) = 4.184J /molK * 200g (Tea) * (85.0°C - 65.0°C)

Mass milk * 58.0°C = 200g * 20.0°C

Mass milk = 4000g°C / 58.0°C

Mass milk =

68.97g of milk must be added
