A hot iron ball is dropped into a 200. g sample of water initially at 50°C. If 8.4 kJ of heat is transferred from the ball to the water, what is the final temperature of the water? (The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/(g·°C).

Respuesta :

Answer: The final temperature of water is 60°C

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of water, we use the equation:

[tex]q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = 8.4 kJ = 8400 J  (Conversion factor:  1 kJ = 1000 J)

m = mass of water = 200 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex]T_2-T_1=T_2-50^oC[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]8400J=200g\times 4.2J/g.^oC\times (T_2-50^oC)\\\\T_2=60^oC[/tex]

Hence, the final temperature of water is 60°C

The final temperature of the water after dropping the iron ball has been 60[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].

The heat transferred by the iron ball can be given by:

Heat (Q) = mc[tex]\Delta[/tex]T

Q = heat transferred = 8.4 kJ

Q = 8400 J

m = mass = 200 g

c = specific heat = 4.2 J/g.[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = change in tempertaure = Initial temperature - final temperature

[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = Final temperature - 50 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

8400 J = 200 g [tex]\times[/tex] 4.2 J/g.[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (Final temperature - 50 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex])  

Final temperature = 60[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].

The final temperature of the water after dropping the iron ball has been 60[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].
