In summary, 200 g of ice at -20 °C and an unknown quantity of water at 80 °C are placed in an adiabatic container. After heat exchange, the temperature reaches equilibrium at 40 °C. Using the data provided, the quantity of water in the container prior to blending can be calculated to be 650 g. This is based on the specific heat of ice, latent heat of fusion of ice, and specific heat of water.

200 g of ice at -20 ° C are placed in an adiabatic container walls containing certain amount of water at 80 ° C. After heat exchange, temperature equilibrium is θ = 40 ° C. Calculate the quantity of water contained in the container prior to blending. Data: specific heat of ice cG = 0.5 cal / g. ° C, latent heat of fusion of ice L = 80 cal / g, specific heat of water and water = 1 cal / g. ° C

This was my response

M = Q*c * ∆T = 200 * 0.5 * 20 (because it goes until it reaches 0 ° C) = 2000 cal, Q = m * l 200 * 80 = 16000 cal, now the ice is in the liquid state 200*1* 40 =8000 => Qtotal ice as there is heat exchange quantities of heat are balanced => 26000=Ma*1*40 = 650g

right? I'm helping a friend and want to make sure it's right
sorry I do not speak English well, i am from Brazil and i am still in high school . Sorry the inconvenience

Looks good. That's what you're supposed to do, and all the algebra seems to be correct.

FAQ: Thermology,calorimetry , help with lesson

1. What is thermology?

Thermology is the study of heat and its effects on matter. It involves measuring temperature, heat transfer, and thermal properties of materials.

2. What is calorimetry?

Calorimetry is the science of measuring the heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical change. It involves using a calorimeter to measure the change in temperature and calculating the amount of heat involved.

3. How can I use thermology and calorimetry in my experiments?

Thermology and calorimetry can be used in various experiments to measure changes in temperature, determine the heat of a reaction, or study the thermal properties of materials. These techniques are especially useful in chemistry, physics, and engineering experiments.

4. What are some real-world applications of thermology and calorimetry?

Thermology and calorimetry have numerous applications in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and energy. They are used to monitor and control temperature in processes, determine the energy content of foods and fuels, and study the thermal properties of materials.

5. Can you provide some helpful resources for learning about thermology and calorimetry?

There are many resources available for learning about thermology and calorimetry, including textbooks, online tutorials, and scientific journals.
