A 34.0 g piece of metal is heated to 92.0°C then placed in a beaker of water containing 22.0 g of water at 19.0°C. The temperature of the water rises to 24.0°C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

0.1988 J/g°C

Explanation:

-Qmetal = Qwater

Q = mc∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat of substance

∆T = change in temperature

Hence;

-{mc∆T} of metal = {mc∆T} of water

From the information provided in this question, For water; m= 22.0g, ∆T = (24°C-19°C), c = 4.18J/g°C.

For metal; m= 34.0g, ∆T = (24°C-92°C), c = ?

Note that, the final temperature of water and the metal = 24°C

-{34 × c × (24°C-92°C)} = 22 × 4.18 × (24°C-19°C)

-{34 × c × (-68°C)} = 459.8

-{34 × c × -68} = 459.8

-{-2312c} = 459.8

+2312c = 459.8

c = 459.8/2312

c = 0.1988

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.1988 J/g°C

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
