Procedure:
Method 1:
75 mL x 1g/1mL= 75 g = 75000 kg
q(water) = -q(compound)
(75000 kg) (4.184 J/kg K) (37.1˚C - 90˚C) = (139000 kg) (C) (37.1 ˚C – 5 ˚C)
C= 3.72 J/kg
Summary:
Average of method 1 and Method 2 is 2.0465
Conclusion:
The specific heat capacity in method 1 is 0.371 J/g ˚C whereas for Method 2 it is 0.031 J/g ˚C
= 20.58 J/˚ C
= 20.58/12
= 1.715 J/g ˚C
2) In a virtual garage, 250. g of metal shavings at 175 0 C is dropped in a bucket containing 390.
mL of water at 23.0 0 C. The final temperature of water and metal is 39.9 0 C. What is the
specific heat capacity of the metal? Water has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/g0 C and
density of 1.00 g/mL. Heat capacity of the bucket is negligible and is adiabatic.
= 27550.38/3377.g
=8.157 J/g ˚C
Convert ounces to mL
8 x 29.57 = 236.56 mL
Heat from microwave = power x time
200 W x (1.5 x 60) = 1800 J
Mass of coffee: 1.0 x 236.56 mL = 236.56g
Heat Capacity of coffee
18000 = 236.56 x 4.18 [T(f) -27] + 0.5 [T(f) -27]
18000= 989.32 [T(f) -27]
T(f) -27 =18000/989.32
T(f) – 27 +27= 18.19+ 27
T(f) = 45.194 ˚C
