Answer : The final temperature of the metal block is,
Explanation :
As we know that,
.................(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of aluminum = 55 g
= mass of water = 0.48 g
= final temperature = ?
= temperature of aluminum =
= temperature of water =
= specific heat of aluminum =
= specific heat of water=
Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get
Thus, the final temperature of the metal block is,
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.
So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.
When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.
Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.
q =
Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = .
