Question

1.)Which of the following processes will result in the lowest final temperature of the metal–water mixture at equilibrium?

the addition of 100 g of cobalt (s = 0.418 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of chromium (s = 0.447 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of gold (s = 0.129 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of copper (s = 0.385 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

2.)Which of the following has a standard enthalpy of formation value of zero at 25°C?

the addition of 100 g of cobalt (s = 0.418 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of chromium (s = 0.447 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of silver (s = 0.237 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of gold (s = 0.129 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

the addition of 100 g of copper (s = 0.385 J/(g • °C)) at 95°C to 100 mL of water at 25°C in an insulated container

Explanation / Answer

Q = M.S.delta T

all the metals are 100 g starting at 95 C and all the water 100 g at 25 C. The lowest temp will result from the least energy transferred to the water from the metal. This will be for the metal with the smallest specific heat which is gold.
