Thermal Interactions
Part 1: In an insulated container, you mix 200. g of water at 80°C with 100. g of water at 20°C. After mixing, the temperature of the water is 60°C.
- a How much did the temperature of the hot water change? How much did the temperature of the cold water change? Compare the magnitudes (positive values) of these changes.
- b During the mixing, how did the heat transfer occur: from hot water to cold, or from cold water to hot?
- c What quantity of heat was transferred from one sample to the other?
- d How does the quantity of heat transferred to or from the hot-water sample compare with the quantity of heat transferred to or from the cold-water sample?
- e Knowing these relative quantities of heat, why is the temperature change of the cold water greater than the magnitude of the temperature change of the hot water.
- f A sample of hot water is mixed with a sample of cold water that has twice its mass. Predict the temperature change of each of the samples.
- g You mix two samples of water, and one increases by 20°C, while the other drops by 60°C. Which of the samples has less mass? How do the masses of the two water samples compare?
- h A 7-g sample of hot water is mixed with a 3-g sample of cold water. How do the temperature changes of the two water samples compare?
Part 2: A sample of water is heated from 10°C to 50°C. Can you calculate the amount of heat added to the water sample that caused this temperature change? If not, what information do you need to perform this calculation?
Part 3: Two samples of water are heated from 20°C to 60°C. One of the samples requires twice as much heat to bring about this temperature change as the other. How do the masses of the two water samples compare? Explain your reasoning.

- The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forwardA 110.-g sample of copper (specific heat capacity = 0.20 J/C g) is heated to 82.4C and then placed in a container of water at 22.3C. The final temperature of the water and copper is 24.9C. What is the mass of the water in the container, assuming that all the heat lost by the copper is gained by the water?arrow_forwardAlloys When a 58.8-g piece of hot alloy is placed in125 g of cold water in a calorimeter, the temperature ofthe alloy decreases by 106.1°C, while the temperature ofthe water increases by 10.5°C. What is the specific heat ofthe alloy?arrow_forward
- You wish to heat water to make coffee. How much heat (in joules) must be used to raise the temperature of 0.180 kg of tap water (enough for one cup of coffee) from 30C to 96C (near the ideal brewing temperature)? Assume the specific heat is that of pure water, 4.18 J/(gC).arrow_forwardYou have two samples of different metals, metal A and metal B, each having the same mass. You heat both metals to 95C and then place each one into separate beakers containing the same quantity of water at 25C. a You measure the temperatures of the water in the two beakers when each metal has cooled by 10C and find that the temperature of the water with metal A is higher than the temperature of the water with metal B. Which metal has the greater specific heat? Explain. b After waiting a period of time, the temperature of the water in each beaker rises to a maximum value. In which beaker does the water temperature rise to the higher value, the one with metal A or the one with metal B? Explain.arrow_forwardA soluble salt, MX2, is added to water in a beaker. The equation for the dissolving of the salt is: MX2(s)M2+(aq)+2X(aq);H0 a Immediately after the salt dissolves, is the solution warmer or colder? b Indicate the direction of heat flow, in or out of the beaker, while the salt dissolves. c After the salt dissolves and the water returns to room temperature, what is the value of q for the system?arrow_forward
- If 125 J of heat energy is applied to a block of silver weighing 29.3 g, by how many degrees will the temperature of the silver increase? (See Table 10.1.)arrow_forwardA piece of unknown substance weighs 44.7 g and requires 2110 J to increase its temperature from 23.2 °C to 89.6 °C. (a) What is the specific heat of the substance? (b) If it is one of the substances found in Table 5.1, what is its likely identity?arrow_forwardThe specific heat of copper metal was determined by putting a piece of the metal weighing 35.4 g in hot water. The quantity of heat absorbed by the metal was calculated to be 47.0 J from the temperature drop of the water. What was the specific heat of the metal if the temperature of the metal rose 3.45C?arrow_forward
- A 21.3-mL sample of 0.977 M NaOH is mixed with 29.5 mL of 0.918 M HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 19.6C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, the specific heat of all solutions is the same as that of water, and volumes are additive.arrow_forwardWhen calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the major constituent of limestone and seashells), is heated, it decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime).
