Consider an insulated container in which water (2.58 g) solidifies at 0 oC and 1 atm on the surface of a 55 g aluminum block. Assuming that the heat transfer occurs only between the water and the metal, estimate the change in temperature of the aluminum block.

Respuesta :

Answer:

17.41°C is the change in temperature of the aluminum block.

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion water = 334 J/g

Heat required to freeze 1 gram of water = -334 J

Heat required to freeze 2.58 grams of water = Q

[tex]Q=2.58 g\times (-334 J/g)=-861.72 J[/tex]

Heat lost by water will be equal to heat gained by the aluminum block

[tex]Q'=-Q[/tex]

[tex]Q'= -(-861.72 J)=861.72 J[/tex]

Formula used to calculate heat absorbed by substance:

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

Where:

Q = heat absorbed by substance

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance  

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have :

Mass of aluminum block= m= 55 g

Heat capacity of aluminum = c = 0.9 J/g°C

Change in temperature of the aluminum block= ΔT = ?

Heat absorbed by the aluminum = Q'

[tex]861.72 J=55 g\times 0.9 J/g^oC\times \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T=17.41 ^oC[/tex]

17.41°C is the change in temperature of the aluminum block.

We have that the change in temperature of the aluminum block.  is mathematically given as

dt=17.408C

From the question we are told

  • Consider an insulated container in which water (2.58 g) solidifies at 0 oC and 1 atm on the surface of a 55 g aluminum block. Assuming that the heat transfer occurs only between the water and the metal,
  • estimate the change in temperature of the aluminum block.

temperature

Generally the equation for the  Heat  is mathematically given as

Q=mL_1

Therefore

Q=(2.58(3.34))

Q=861.72J

Where

Heat Loss =Heat gain

861.72J=(55)(0.9)dt

  • dt=17.408C
