A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degrees celsius . During the reaction 69.0kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask.Calculate the new temperature of the water bath.

Respuesta :

Answer: The new temperature of the water bath is [tex]31.9^0C[/tex]

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

Q = Heat released by water =[tex]69.0kJ=69000J[/tex]     (1kJ=1000J)

m= mass of water = 8.10 kg= 8100 g   (1kg=1000g)

c = specific heat capacity = [tex]4.184J/g^0C[/tex]

Initial temperature of the water = [tex]T_i[/tex] = [tex]33.9^0C[/tex]

Final temperature of the water = [tex]T_f[/tex]  = ?

Change in temperature ,[tex]\Delta T=T_f-T_i[/tex]

Putting in the values, we get:

[tex]-69000J=8100g\times 4.184J/g^0C\times (T_f-33.9)^0C[/tex]

[tex]T_f=31.9^0C[/tex]

The new temperature of the water bath is [tex]31.9^0C[/tex]
