Homework Statement
Find the mass of water in this container when given a data plot of temperature (C) and Heat Added (kJ)
I have NO idea where to even start with this.
That seems to work, I don't know how that escaped me but I got it now! Thanks!scottdave said:See if this helps. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/thermo/spht.html
The Hyperphysics site has some well-written articles and some nice interactive tools.etv24 said:That seems to work, I don't know how that escaped me but I got it now! Thanks!
The mass of water can be calculated using the formula: mass = heat added / specific heat capacity x temperature change. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.186 joules/gram °C.
The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.186 joules/gram °C.
Yes, the mass of water can be calculated using the formula: mass = heat added / specific heat capacity x temperature change. However, this formula assumes that the specific heat capacity of water remains constant.
Yes, the mass of water can change with temperature due to thermal expansion. As water is heated, it expands and its density decreases, resulting in a change in mass.
The units used for calculating the mass of water are typically grams (g) or kilograms (kg) for mass, joules (J) for heat added, and degrees Celsius (°C) for temperature change. However, other units can also be used as long as they are consistent.
