Question

A volume of 120 mL of H2O is initially at room temperature (2200 degree C). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 degree c is placed in the water. If the final temperature of the system is 21.10 degree C, what is the mass of the steel bar? Use the following values: specific heat of water = 4.18 J/(g. degree C) specific heat of steel = 0.452 J/(g. degree C) Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. mass of the steel = The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g. degree C). Calculate the molar heat capacity of water Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. molar heat capacity for water

Explanation / Answer

120 mL of water = 120 g of water

As

m1c1(Tf1 - Ti1) = m2c2(Ti2 - Tf2)

where material 1 is water, material 2 is steel, then, solving for m2,

m2 = [m1c1(Tf1 - Ti1)]/[c2(Ti2 - Tf2)]

m2 = 52.3 g   [ANSWER]


**************

Since H20 = 18 g/mol, then

4.18 J/gC * 18 g/mol = 75.2 J/[mol K]   [ANSWER]
