Eq. (2) Problem 15.

You have a piece of metal of mass 80 gr. at 100 0C.

heat yielded Determine the specific heat of that metal, if when immersed in 15

Solution

Metal: gives off heat

m1 = 80 gr.
T1 = 100 ºC
22 ºC
Tf =
Ce =

Q1 = m1* Ce * (Tf - T1)

Q1 = 80 gr. * Ce * (100 - 22 ºC)

Q1 = 80 * Ce * 78
Q1 = 6240 * Ce
Eq. (1)
Water: absorbs heat

m2 = 150 gr.
T1 = 18 ºC
Tf = 22ºC
1 Cal/gr.ºC
Ce =

Q2 =m2 * Ce * (Tf - T1)

Q2 = 150 * 1 Cal/gr.ºC * (22 - 18 ºC)

Q2 = 600

As the heat
absorbed

Q1 = Q2
6240 * Ce = 600
Ce = 600 / 6240
Ce = 0.09615385 Cal/gr.ºC
