Calorimetry Definition and 115 Threads

lemme start off with the problem: 15.3g of NaNO3 were disssolved in 100 g of water in a calorimeter. The temperature of the water dropped from 25 C to 21.56 C. Calculate delta H for the solution process here's what i figure: delta H = q q = MCT M = mass of water C = specific...

Hey, I am working on some problems dealing with calorimetry. The problem I am stuck on is: What is the final temperature when a 3.0 kg gold bar at 99 degrees C is dropped into a 0.22 kg of water at 25 degrees C. The equation I am working with is: cx,mx,(Tf-Tix) = cy,my,(Tf-Tiy) It seems like...

id appreciate some input u guys... Heat Transfer and Calorimetry A 50 g Aluminum calorimeter contains 95 g of a mixture of water and ice at 0 degree Celsius. When 100 g of Aluminum, which has been heated in a steam jacket to 100 degree Celsius, is dropped into the mixture, the temperature...

i need help answering some chemistry questions..and i need these answers asap. 1. I need three reasons why the specific heat of lead is so hard to find? and the second is 2. Three reasons why an error could have occurred in our calorimetry lab? Thank you chemistrygirl09:smile:

When 42.1 grams of water at 80.9 degrees Celsius are added to an unknown amount of water at 20 degrees Celsius. The final temperature of the mixture is 54.8 degrees Celsius. Calculate the unknown mass of water originally at 20 degrees Celsius. For known mass: q = (42.1 g)*(54.8-80.9 C)*(4.184...

Hey what's up, I am stuck on the following problem. a copper pot with mass of 0.5kg contains 0.170kg of water at a temperature of 20C. A 0.250kg block of iron at 85C is dropped into the pot. Find the final temperature assuming not heat loss. Ok, so Here is what i was thinking about...

So here's the problem Conside the dissolution of CaCl2: CaCl2(s) ---> Ca^(2+) (aq) + 2Cl^(-1) (aq) deltaH = -81.5kJ An 11.0g sample of CACl2 id dissolved in 125g of water, with both substances at 25.0°C. Calculate the final temperature of the solution assuming no heat lost to...

Specific heat - calorimetry?? Help from brainy chem person :bugeye: How do determine the heat capacity of a calorimeter when, You burn a 100mg of napthalene in it and it's temperature rises by 3.5 degrees C ? the molar mass of napthalene is 128.18g/mol Dont i need the specific...

I haven't found my textbooks on physical chemistry, so I want to ask the forum members. When we heat 4 liters of water from 10°C to 90°C, and add this to 16 liters of water at 10°C, what will the final temperature be? My brainstorming revealed the following, but I'm not sure if they are...

I am comparing two calorimeters. One has a heat capacity of 10.53 calories/degrees celsius and the second one has a heat capacity of 104.3 calories/degrees celsius. I just need to know which one is better and why.

Hi everyone, Is a calorimetry an experiment or an equation? :bugeye: If its an experiment, what does it determind? If its an equation, what is it? My book doesn't distinguish what it is. What is the equation for determining the specific heat capacity? Is it : CiMiΔT=CfMfΔT If there...

hi guys! need a little help with some questions. we just did an experiment on determining a specific heat of a metal by the method of mixture. if any of you are familiar with this, your help would be very much appreciated. 1. How would the computed specific of the object be affected if...

Question is: You have two cast iron skillets. One is twice the mass of the other. If you raise each to the same temperature which pan requires more heat. Explain.

Hi, I have 1 question that I am having trouble with. 1) A stick of molybdenum weighing 237g and starting at a temperature of 373Kelvin is thrust into 244g of water starting at 283Kelvin. If the final Temperature observed for the whole system is 288Kelvin, what would the specific heat of...

My solution (179 g) to the problem below is slightly less than what the book says it should be (190 g)... A vessel whose walls are thermally insulated contains 2.40 kg of water and 0.450 kg of ice, all at a temperature of 0.0 degrees Celsius. The outlet of a tube leading from a boiler in...
