The specific heat capacity of the calorimeter used in mixing the water is determined as 21.87 J/g⁰C.

<h3>Conseervation of energy</h3>

The heat capacity of the calirometer is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy.

Heat lost by the hot water = Heat gained by the calirometer

Q _w = Q_c\\\\M_w C_w\Delta \theta _w = M_c C_c\Delta \theta _c

where;

  • M is mass

mass = density x volume = ρV

Density of water = 1 g/ml

Mass of hot water = 1 x (50) = 50 g

Mass of water in calorimeter = 1 x (60) = 60 g

<h3>Equilibrium temperature</h3>

\Delta T_c = 5.5\\\\T - 25 = 5.5\\\\T = 30.5 \ ^0C

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the calirometer</h3>

50 \times 4.184 \times (65 - 30.5) = 60 \times C_c \times (30.5 - 25)\\\\7217.4 = 330C_c\\\\C_c = \frac{7217.4}{330} \\\\C_c = 21.87 \ J/g^0C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter used in mixing the water is determined as 21.87 J/g⁰C.

The complete question is below

When using a different calorimeter, and mixing 50 ml of hot water at

65 degrees C with 60 ml of water in the calorimeter at 25 degrees C, the temperature of the calorimeter increased by 5.5 degrees C.

a. Calculate the heat capacity of this calorimeter?

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?
Artist 52 [7]

                   Time  =  (distance)  /  (speed)

                           =  (30 km)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 m)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 / 30)  sec

                           =      1,000 seconds

                           =      16 minutes  40 seconds

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

\beta = 41.68°

Explanation:

according to snell's law

\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass  n_g  is 1.5

sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30

sin\alpha = 0.443

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}

sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha

\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]

we know that sin\alpha = 0.443

\beta = 41.68°
