Heat Capacity & Temperature Changes

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around heat capacity and temperature changes in various materials, specifically focusing on how different physical parameters affect temperature increases when heat is added. The original poster presents multiple questions regarding the relationship between heat, mass, and temperature change in different scenarios, including a sample of aluminum.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the factors that might differ between two samples when the same amount of heat is added, questioning the roles of heat capacity and mass. They also discuss the implications of increasing the heat supplied to a sample and how that affects temperature change.

Discussion Status

Some participants have confirmed the correctness of certain answers provided, particularly regarding the identification of variables affecting temperature change. However, there remains a request for further clarification on the remaining questions, indicating an ongoing exploration of the topic.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of a homework assignment, which includes specific questions about heat capacity and temperature changes, as well as the requirement to show reasoning for their answers. There is also a hint provided regarding the relationship between heat, mass, and temperature change.

Homework Statement



Quistions:

1-adding the same amount of heat to two samples does not produce the same increase in temperature. What physical parameters of hte bodies might be different?

2-We have a sample of metal with mass m. We supply an amount of heat Q and the temperature rises by deltaT.

(a) Write down the heat capacity of the sample in terms of m, Q and delta×T.

We increase the amount of heat supplied to the sample to 3Q

(b) What is the change in temperature?

(c)By what amount should we change the mass of the sample for the increase in temperature to be 10 deltaT?

3-We are going to increase the temperature of a sample of aluminium with mass 0.50kg. The initial temperature of the sampleis 300K. The final temperature is 400K. How much heat is required?

Homework Equations



1- (Hint: Q=m×c×deltaT)

3-(specific heat capacity of aluminium is 897 JKg^(-1)K^(-1)

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know if the answers are correct or not

A1:The atoms. may be the first body is sold and the second bdy is liquid

A2:

(a) Q=m×deltaT

If we increase it to 3Q

==> 3Q=m×c×deltaT ==> Q=(m×deltaT)/3

(b) The change in temperature is deltaT = T2 - T1

(c) for this there is no attempt

A3:

Q=m×c×deltaT

==> 0.50 × 897 × (400 - 300 ) = 44850

Please, please , please , and please i hope you to tell me what is the correct answer


i am trying allways to be a good student in physics but usually i don't answer quistions correctly.

please i hope you to teach me.

I will say thanks for you to the end of my life :smile:

You have written a hint: Q = m*c*ΔT.
In the problem Q and ΔT remain constant. Then which quarantines should be different for the two bodies?

First: thanks for your help

second:

The quarantines should be different for the two bodies are (c=heat capacity ,and m=mass of substance)

Is my answer right or not?



thanx again for your help:smile:
 
Your answer is correct.

Thank you

please:shy:, let's answer the remaining questions :redface: if you don't mind

I don't know if the answers are correct or not

A1:The atoms. may be the first body is sold and the second bdy is liquid

A2:

(a) Q=m×deltaT
No, Q=m×c×deltaT as stated in the hint. Therefore c=____?

If we increase it to 3Q

==> 3Q=m×c×deltaT ==> Q=(m×deltaT)/3
This goes with part (b), not (a).
(b) The change in temperature is deltaT = T2 - T1
You are not understanding what is being asked.
The temperature change is deltaT when the amount of heat supplied is Q. If, instead, an amount of heat 3Q is added, what is the temperature change then?
(c) for this there is no attempt

A3:

Q=m×c×deltaT

==> 0.50 × 897 × (400 - 300 ) = 44850
This looks correct.
