If a 58 g sample of metal at 100 c is placed into calorimeter containing 60g of water at 18 c , the temperature of the water increases to 22 c. Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water in joules

Respuesta :

Answer:

The water will absorb 1004.16 Joule of heat

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 58.00 grams

Temperature of the metal = 100.00 °C

Mass of water = 60.00 grams

Temperature of water = 18.00 °C

Final temperature = 22.00 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the amount of heat absorbed by the water in joules

Q = mass *specific heat *ΔT

 ⇒ with Q = the heat absorbed by water

⇒ with mass of water = 60.00 grams

⇒ with specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 22 - 18 = 4.0 °C

Q = 60.00 * 4.184 J/g°C * 4.0 °C

Q = 1004.16 J

The water will absorb 1004.16 Joule of heat
