Question

A 150. g sample of Cu at 300K is dropped into a 200. g sample of methanol at 400K. Assume no exchange of heat with the surroundings.

Cpm(Cu) = 24.47 J/(K mole)

Cpm(CH3OH) = 68.62 J/(K mole)

a) Calculate the final temperature of the system

This is a physical chemistry problem. Please, please help me.

Please, please help me.

Explanation / Answer


a ) no of mol of Cu = 150/63.5 = 2.36 mol

no of mol of methanol = 200/32 = 6.25 mol

q = n*Cpm*DT

2.36*24.47*(Tf-300) = 6.25*68.62*(400-Tf)

Tf = final temperature = 388.132 K

b) DS of methanol = q/DT = 5089.8885/11.868   = 428.875 j/K.mol

    DS of cu = 57.7492 j/k.mol

DS system = 371.1258 j/k.mol
