We submerge a 32.6-g copper weight, initially at 71.5 ∘C into 64.1 g of water at 23.0 ∘C in an insulated container. What is the final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium?

A 3.00-g sample of a substance is warmed to 83.7 ∘C and submerged into 15.2 g of water initially at 23.7 ∘C. The final temperature of the mixture is 25.4 ∘C. What is the heat capacity of the unknown substance?

Answer #1

a. specific heat capacity of Cu = 0.385J/g-0C

   heat capacity of H2O = 4.184J/g-0C

heat lose of copper                    =                      heat gain of water

mc\DeltaT                                        =                         mc\DeltaT

32.6*0.385*(71.5-t)                     =                         64.1*4.184*(t-23)

t = 25.170C

the final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium   = 25.170C

b.

heat lose of substance                      =                     heat gain of water

mc\DeltaT                                               =                      mc\DeltaT

3*c*(83.7-25.4)                                 =                      15.2*4.184*(25.4-23.7)

   c =0.62J/g-0C

The heat capacity of the unknown substance    c =0.62J/g-0C
