LAB ACTIVITY #1: HEAT EXCHANGE

• In this activity, we are tasked to perform activities which determines the

principles regarding the heat loss and gain of a sample liquid(water)
• This activity is a sample of the first law of Thermodynamics, which states
that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In
essence, energy can be converted from one form into another. By using this
as our preference, we are able to conduct our experiment with ease and no
harm befall to me and my partner.
ACTIVITY #1
•
•  The density of water is 1 g/mL. Thus, 50 mL of water
has mass of 50 g. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g
.
• Calculate the heat lost by the hot water.
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold water
 COMPUTATION #1
• GIVEN;
• Hot water mass =  0.05 kg
• Cold water mass = 0.05 kg
• Equation ;
Q = (m)(c)(Δ T)
• REQUIRED;
Calculate the heat "lost" by the hot water
• SOLUTION:
Q1 = (m)(c)(Δ T)
Q1 = (0.05 kg )(4186 J/(kg * C°))(-40 C°)
Q1 = -8,372 J  heat "lost" by the hot water    
•   REQUIRED;
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold
• SOLUTION:
Q2 = (m)(c)(Δ T)
Q2 = (0.05 kg )(4186)(48 C°)
Q2 = 10,046.4J   heat gained by the cold water       

• the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by
cooler substances: = Q2 – Q1
  = 10,046.4- (-8,372) J
  =18,418.4 J
ACTIVITY #2

• Repeat step 1,2 and 3, but use 25mL of cold water and
75 mL of hot water.
• Calculate the heat lost by the hot water.
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold water.
 COMPUTATION #2
• GIVEN
• Hot water mass = 0.75 kg
• Cold water mass = 0.25 kg

• Equation
Q = mcΔT
• REQUIRED
Calculate the heat "lost" by the hot water
• SOLUTION
Q1 = (m)(c)(ΔT)
Q1 = (0.25 kg )(4186 J/(kg * C°))(-24 C°)
Q1 = -25 116 J heat "lost" by the hot water          
• REQUIRED;
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold water
• SOLUTION:
Q2 = (m)(c)(Δ T)
Q2 = (0.75 kg )(4186)(62 C°)
Q2 = 194,649J heat gained by the cold water
        
• the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy
gained by cooler substances = Q2 – Q1
= 194,649 –(-25 116 ) J                           
=219,765J
ACTIVITY #3
• Repeat steps 1,2 and 3 but use 75 mL of cold water
and 25 mL of hot water.
• Calculate the heat lost by the hot water.
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold water.
 COMPUTATION #3
• GIVEN
• Hot water mass = 0.25 kg
• Cold water mass = 0.75 kg
• Equation;
Q = (m)(c)(Δ T)
• REQUIRED;
Calculate the heat "lost" by the hot water
• SOLUTION
Q1 = (m)(c)(Δ T)
Q1 = (0.75 kg )(4186 J/(kg * C°))(-42 C°)
Q1 = - 131,859 J heat "lost" by the hot water    
• REQUIRED;
• Calculate the heat gained by the cold water
• SOLUTION:
Q2 = (m)(c)(Δ T)
Q2 = (0.25 kg )(4186)(36 C°)
Q2 = 37,674 J heat gained by the cold water       
    
• the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by
cooler substances = Q2 – Q1
= 37,674- (-131,859)    
=169,533 J
