Answer to Problem 13P

The specific heat of unknown sample is 1822J/kg°C .

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The mass of the calorimeter is 100g , the mass of water in calorimeter is 250g , the equilibrium temperature of water and calorimeter is 10.0°C , the mass of copper block is 50.0g , the temperature of copper block is 80.0°C , the mass of other block is 70.0g and the temperature of other block is 100°C . The final temperature of the system is 20.0°C .

Formula to calculate the heat lost by cooper block is,

QCu=mCucCu(TCuT)

Here,

QCu is the heat lost by copper block.

mCu is the mass of the copper block.

cCu is the specific heat of copper.

TCu is the temperature of copper block.

T is the final temperature of the system.

Formula to calculate the heat lost by unknown sample is,

Qs=mscs(TsT)

Here,

Qs is the heat lost by sample.

ms is the mass of the sample.

cs is the specific heat of sample.

Ts is the temperature of sample.

Formula to calculate the heat gained by the water is,

Qw=mwcw(TTw)

Here,

Qw is the heat gained by water.

mw is the mass of water.

cw is the specific heat of water.

Tw is the temperature of water.

Formula to calculate the heat gained by calorimeter is,

Qcal=mcalcAl(TTcal)

Here,

Qcal is the heat gained by calorimeter.

mcal is the mass of calorimeter.

cAl is the specific heat of aluminum.

Tcal is the temperature of calorimeter.

From the conservation of energy, heat lost is equal to heat gained.

QCu+Qs=Qw+QcalmCucCu(TCuT)+mscs(TsT)=mwcw(TTw)+mcalcAl(TTcal)mscs(TsT)=mwcw(TTw)+mcalcAl(TTcal)mCucCu(TCuT)cs=mwcw(TTw)+mcalcAl(TTcal)mCucCu(TCuT)ms(TsT)

Substitute 250g for mw , 100g for mcal , 10.0°C for TwandTcal , 4186J/kg°C for cw , 900J/kg°C for cAl , 50.0g for mCu , 80.0°C for TCu , 387J/kg°C for cCu , 70.0g for ms , 100°C for Ts and 20.0°C for T to find cs .

cs=[250g×4186J/kg°C×(20.0°C10.0°C)+100g×900J/kg°C(20.0°C10.0°C)50.0g×387J/kg°C(80.0°C20.0°C)]70.0g(100°C20.0°C)=10465000g°C×J/kg°C+900000g°C×J/kg°C1161000g°C×J/kg°C70.0g×80.0°C=1822J/kg°C

Conclusion:

Therefore, the specific heat of unknown sample is 1822J/kg°C .

Answer to Problem 13P

The unknown sample may be beryllium.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The mass of the calorimeter is 100g , the mass of water in calorimeter is 250g , the equilibrium temperature of water and calorimeter is 10.0°C , the mass of copper block is 50.0g , the temperature of copper block is 80.0°C , the mass of other block is 70.0g and the temperature of other block is 100°C . The final temperature of the system is 20.0°C .

The specific heat of unknown sample is 1822J/kg°C .

This value of specific heat is not given in the given table. So, it is difficult to make a definite identification of the sample. The closest value of this which is given in table is 1830J/kg°C . Thus, the unknown sample may be beryllium.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the unknown sample may be beryllium.

Answer to Problem 13P

The specific heat may be defined as either the material having this amount of specific heat is not listed in the table or it may be an unknown alloy.

Explanation of Solution

The specific heat may be defined as the heat capacity per unit mass. It is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by 1°C .

The value of specific heat obtained in part (b) does not correspond to any material given in table 19.1. So, either the material is not listed in the table or it may be an unknown alloy.

Conclusion:

Therefore, either the material having this amount of specific heat is not listed in the table or it may be an unknown alloy.
