Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around two questions related to heat transfer in thermal systems. The first question involves calculating the heat lost when steam condenses to water, while the second question concerns the final temperature of water when ice is added to it.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the calculations for heat transfer using the equations Q = mc∆t and Q = mLV. There is a question about the sign of latent heat during condensation versus vaporization. The second question prompts discussion on whether the latent heat of fusion is necessary for the calculations involving ice and water.

Discussion Status

Some participants confirm the correctness of the calculations related to the first question. There is a request for confirmation regarding the second question, indicating a need for further input. The discussion includes attempts to set up the equations for the second question, but no consensus has been reached yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under the constraints of homework rules, which may limit the information shared. The necessity of including latent heat of fusion in the second question is under consideration, but not resolved.

Question #1

Homework Statement


How much heat will be lost when 120 g of steam at 100°C is condensed to water at 80°C?

Homework Equations



Q = mc∆t
Q = m LV

The Attempt at a Solution



Q = mc∆t
Q = 0.12 x 4186 x (80 – 100)
Q = 10046.4 J
Q = m LV
Q = 0.12 x (- 2.3 x 106)
Q = 276000 J
= 10046.4 + 276000 = 286046.4
= -2.9 x 105 J

Is the latent heat of condensation negative to that of vaporization?

Question #2

Homework Statement


If 20 g of ice at 0° is added to 180 g of water at 22°C, what will the final temperature of the water be?

Homework Equations


Q = mc∆t

The Attempt at a Solution


mc∆t = mc∆t
0.02 x 2050 (0-T) = 0.18 x 4186 (T-22)
-41T = 753.48T - 16576.56
-794.48T = -16576.56
-794.48T/-794.48 = -16576.56/-794.48
T = 20.86

For this question, is the latent heat of fusion needed?

Yes, it has the opposite sign, as energy is required for vaporization but released by condensation. You calculations look good.

Thanks for the reply! I'd like someone to confirm the second question too. Thanks in advance.

Heat lost by water = mwc(22 - t)

Heat gained by the ice = miL + mic(t-0) where L is the latent heat of fusion of ice.

Now solve for t.

Many thanks for your reply!
