Two Film Cannisters are filled with water. These will be used in Calorimeter. One container will be used for heated pennies and the other for heated nickels. The pennies and nickels will be heated to a temp of 66 C. The cannister that will have pennies dropped into it, has a temperature of 20.1 C and a mass of 15.57g. The cannister that will have nickels dropped into it, has a temperature of 19.7 C and a mass of 17,33g. Two pennies of 2.5g a piece are then dropped in to water filled cannister, the temperature stabilizes at 21.8 C. Next, two nickels at 5g a piece are dropped into the other cannister, the temperature stabilizes at 22.8 C.

What is the heat capacity of the coins?

What is the specific heat of each coin?

How much thermal energy did the water gain? How much energy did the coins lose?

Is it possible for two objects to be at the same temperature but have different amounts of heat in them?

Which has the greater heat capacity: the water or the pennies?

Expert Solution

Heat = mass × specific heat × temperature

so if two objects are at same temprature they can have different amount of heat depending on the mass and material of the object.

A graduated cylinder filled with water rests upside down in a container of water at 0 C. The water is 7.00 cm deep. Attached to the base of the cylinder is a small ring (but since the cylinder is upside down, the ring is at the highest elevation, available for grabbing). The base of the cylinder has mass 10.0 grams with ring included. The cylinder itself has radius 3.00 cm, height 40.0 cm, and mass 100.0 grams (including the base...

. Inside of a calorimeter (insulated container) is placed 200g of water at 20°C. The lid of the calorimeter is briefly lifted and 50g of lead is added initially at 200°C. What is the thermal equilibrium temperature? (3pts) 10. An object of mass 50kg is pushed in the +x direction with a force of 40N flat along a horizontal surface causing a net acceleration of 0.15m/s2 in the +x direction. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface...

A partially filled (plastic) kettle is used to boil water. The kettle contains tap (temperature) water before it is switched on. If the thermostat to switch off the kettle when it boils is faulty: Q2d: Explain the solution strategy which would allow you to calculate the time needed to bring water to the boil. Q2a: Detail all the assumptions needed to arrive at the solution, whether they relate to equations used (i.e., the theoretical basis) or any values which must...
