Answer:
The length of the Mercury column of thermometer at ice point is 20mm and 220mm at steam point . when the same Thermometer is placed in contact with another body ,it reads 5°c.what will the length of the Mercury column at the temperature?
To solve this problem, we should recall the law of
conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal
to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies
therefore:
- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water
where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)
The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we
calculate for the mass of water (m):
- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)
m = 0.9675 kg
Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final
temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:
- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)
- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T
4950 T = 180,000
T = 36.36°C
The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C
Water is treated by purifying it by adding slaked lime or potash alum
The cube has 6 equal, square, foil faces. The mass of foil for each face is (380/6) milligrams.
The surface area of each piece is (380)/(6•11) cm^2.
The length of each side of the piece is √(380/6•11) cm
That's about 2.4 cm .
It's a cute little foil cube, just under 1-inch each way.
