AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the final temperature of water after adding 5.00g of steam at 100.0°C to 100.0g of water at 27.0°C in an insulated container. The participant attempts to use the heat transfer equations q=mct and q=nH but struggles with the calculations, leading to a final temperature of 27.0°C, which seems incorrect. There is confusion regarding the units and values used in the calculations, specifically about the mass of steam and the specific heat capacity of water. Clarification is sought on the proper application of the equations and the meaning of the variables involved. The participant expresses frustration and requests assistance to resolve their misunderstanding.

Homework Statement



What will be the final temperature of the water in an insulated container as the result of passing 5.00 of steam at 100.0 into 100.0 of water at 27.0?


Homework Equations



q=mct
q=nH

The Attempt at a Solution



I am completely lost as to how to solve for final temperature, I attempted it, but it didn't work, this is what I did.

n=5.00g/(18.02g/mol)=0.277 mol

q=(0.277 mol)*(40.6KJ/mol)=11.27KJ
11.27KJ=mct
11.27KJ=(100g)*(4.18)*(Tf-27)
(11.27/418)=Tf-27
Tf=(0.02696)+27=27.0

can someone please help, I am so lost :( I don't understand what it is that I'm doing wrong

5 of what, 100 of what, 100 of what, 27 of what?

oops, I didn't realize that the values didn't show up.

it should be 5.00g, 100degrees celcius, 100.0g and 27 degrees celcius

4.18 of what?
 
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...
