    Heat Lost
In summary, to find the amount of heat lost when 120 g of steam at 100°C is condensed to water at 80°C, we use the equations Q = mc∆t and Q = mLV to calculate the total heat lost. The latent heat of condensation is negative compared to the latent heat of vaporization. Additionally, to find the final temperature of 180 g of water at 22°C after adding 20 g of ice at 0°C, we use the equation Q = mc∆t and take into account the latent heat of fusion of ice. The final temperature is calculated to be 20.86°C.

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.

1. How does the amount of insulation affect the amount of heat lost?

The amount of insulation plays a significant role in determining how much heat will be lost. Generally, the more insulation there is, the less heat will be able to escape. This is because insulation acts as a barrier, preventing heat from transferring from one area to another.

2. What factors influence the rate of heat loss?

The rate of heat loss is influenced by a variety of factors, including temperature difference, surface area, and the thermal properties of the material. The larger the temperature difference between the inside and outside of a structure, the faster heat will be lost. Additionally, a larger surface area will result in more heat being lost, and materials with low thermal conductivity (such as insulation) will slow down the rate of heat loss.

3. How does heat loss affect energy efficiency?

Heat loss can greatly impact the energy efficiency of a building. When heat is lost, it means that more energy is required to maintain a comfortable temperature, resulting in higher energy bills. By minimizing heat loss, a building can become more energy efficient and save on heating costs.

4. Is it possible to accurately predict the amount of heat loss in a building?

While it is possible to estimate the amount of heat loss in a building, it is difficult to predict exactly how much heat will be lost. This is because there are many variables at play, such as weather conditions, insulation quality, and building materials. However, by using mathematical equations and taking into account these variables, scientists can make fairly accurate predictions.

5. How can heat loss be reduced?

There are several ways to reduce heat loss in a building. Some common methods include adding insulation, sealing any air leaks, using energy-efficient windows and doors, and using a programmable thermostat to regulate temperature. Additionally, proper maintenance of heating systems and regular energy audits can also help identify and address any sources of heat loss.
