Can I get specific heat without a final temp? (heat of Rxn)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the specific heat of a solid without knowing its final temperature, using the heat of reaction and other provided data. The user has delta H_solution, mass of the solid, and heat values for water and the reaction but lacks the final temperature of the solid. It is suggested that if only two materials are exchanging heat, the heat lost by one equals the heat gained by the other, leading to the equation m1*C1*delta T1 = -m2*C2*delta T2. The conversation emphasizes the need for complete problem details to provide accurate assistance. Understanding the heat exchange principles is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


I have delta H _solution, and also the mass of the solitd and q_water and q_reaction.
Im using Dulong Petit to get MM but I need specific heat of the solid obviously.
I don't have a final temp of the unknown solid, just the delta T for the water
thanks for any help

Homework Equations


MM = 25 / specific heat, J/gdegC

Not enough details. Can you state the complete problem as it was written for you?

On lots of these, if you only have two materials exchanging heat, then the heat lost by one is equal to the heat gained by the other.

If certain conditions are met, then m1*C1*delta T1 = - m2*C2* delta T2
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
