Question

An experiment is performed on an unknown material and produces the given heat curve. The temperature of the material is shown as a function of heat added. Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of fusion=235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=471 °C.
If the sample of material has a mass of =9.80 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, s, and when it is liquid, l.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the table, 1=46.7 °C, 1=165 J, 2=819 J, 3=1510 J, and 4=2830 J.

Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of

fusion =235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=481 °C.

If the sample of material has a mass of =8.60 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, and when it is liquid, l
