1.

Determine the final temperature of a mixture of 50 grams of water at 10 C added to 120


grams
of water at 80 C. Show all work. Use the simulator to check your answer. (Hint: This is a
weighted average.)
2.Use the simulator to determine the temperature change of 80 grams of water initially at 20
C
(Note: When adding metals to water, the water temperature always starts at 20 C, you do
not
need to set this parameter.) when a 15 gram piece of iron at 150 C is placed in it. (To select
iron, click on the “solids” tab and use the pop-up menu.)

3. Click the “show graph view” box and then click “replay” for the experiment in #2. Draw the
resulting graph. How do the two lines on the graph compare? What is the main conclusion
you
can draw from the graph?

The iron temperature decreased when it came into


contact with water, and when mixed, a final temperature of 22.56 C was obtained.

4.How much heat energy in joules, q, did the water gain in the experiment in #2? Use the
formula:
q = (m)(c)(T) where m = mass of water being heated in grams; c = specific heat of water =
(4.18
J/g C); and T = the change in the water’s temperature in degrees Celsius.

Answer: q= (80g)(4,18 J/g C)(2.56 C)


q= 856.064 J

5.Use the simulator to add 20 grams of solid ammonium nitrate (default temperature is 20
C ) to
100 grams of water initially at 20 C (Note: The ammonium nitrate is under the “solids” tab.)
and
determine the temperature change of the water. (Note: If water is cooler than original
temperature the change is negative.)

6. How much energy, in kilojoules, did the water lose in the experiment in #5? (Use q = (m)
(c)(T)
and then convert joules to kilojoules.)

Answer: q=(100g)(4.18J/g C)(-12,78 C)


q= -5,342J/1000= -0,0053 KJ

9. Use the simulator to add 20 grams of solid calcium chloride (default temperature is 20 C )
to
100 grams of water initially at 20 C (Note: You have to scroll down the pop-up menu under
the
“solids” tab.) and determine the temperature change of the water.
