A cup containing 200 g of water is sitting on your dining room table. After carefully measuring its temperature to be 20-degrees Celsius, you leave the room. Returning 10 minutes later, you measure its temperature again and find that it is now 25-degrees Celsius. What can you conclude about the amount of heat added to the water? (HINT: trick question)

Answer #1

Solution-

heat added = Q = m.Cp.dT

Cp of water = 4.18 J/g.c

so heat added = 200 x 4.18 x (25 - 20)

                    = 4180 J = 4.18 KJ

Therefore we can conclude that the water was at a lower temperature than the temperature of the atmosphere.

Hence water took 4.18 KJ of heat from the air and got heated to 5-degree celcius

    Last week during the "polar vortex" imagine you put a cup of water outside. It was cold enough long enough that the ice would have eventually been the same temperature as the air temperature, say - 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 3. It is now a cup of water. How much more heat needs to be added to bring this water up to "room temperature"?

    M Review Constants | Periodic Table Part A Calorimetry is a method used to measure changes in enthalpy, or heat, that occur during chemical processes. Two common calorimeters are constant-pressure calorimeters and constant-volume (or "bomb") calorimeters. Bomb calorimeters are used to measure combustion and other gas-producing reactions, in which the reaction is observed in a strong, sealed vessel. A simple constant-pressure calorimeter can be made from a foam coffee cup and a thermometer, in which energy changes in a reaction...

    Question 1. An insulated container is used to hold 54.0 g of water at 17.6°C. A sample of copper weighing 7.10 g is placed in a dry test tube and heated for 30 minutes in a boiling water bath at 100.1°C. The heated test tube is carefully removed from the water bath with laboratory tongs and inclined so that the copper slides into the water in the insulated container. Given that the specific heat of solid copper is 0.385 J/(g·°C),...
