In the specific heat experiment, critical factors are the heat capacity of the calorimeter, the temperature of the holt sample, and the final temperature of the calorimeter. What effect could influence the temperature of the hot sample at the instant it is inserted into the calorimeter? What issues surround the measurement of the final calorimeter temperature?

Expert Solution

1) AT THE VERY INSTANT WHEN THE HOT SAMPLE IS INSERTED INTO THE CALORIMETER AN EXOTHERMC REACTION TAKES PLACE AND THE SOLUTION OF THE CALORIMETER ABSORBS THE HEAT , THERBY SHOWING A INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE . THIS CAN ALSO BE EXPLAINED AS THE FOLLOWING , SUPPOSE THE SAMPLE IS VERY HOT , THUS THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE MOLECULES OF THE SAMPLE IS VERY HIGH AND THUS AS SOON AS IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH CALORIMETER FLUID THE MOLECULES COLLIDES WITH THE CALORIMETER (SOLUTION/ CONTAINER WALLS) MOLECULES AND TRANSFER OF MOMENTUM TAKES PLACE WHICH IS INTERPRETED AS HEAT TRANSFER .

2) THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT SURROUND THE MEASUREMENT OF THE FINAL TEMPERATURE

OF THE CALORIMETER , MOST IMPORTANTLY IT SHOULD BE MEASURED AND NOTICED FROM TIME TO TIME THAT HOW HOT ARE THE SURROUNDINGS OF THE CALORIMETER AND THE TEMPERATURE AND COORESPONDINGLY THE HEAT TRANSFER FROM THE SURROUNDINGS TO THE CALORIMETER SHOULD BE NOTED .

An ice “calorimeter” can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal. A piece of hot metal is dropped onto a weighed quantity of ice. The energy transferred from the metal to the ice can be determined from the amount of ice melted. Suppose you heat a 9.36-g piece of platinum to 98.6 °C in a boiling water bath and then drop it onto ice at 0.0 °C. When the temperature of the metal...

Heat Capacity Learning Goal: To understand the concepts of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity. Heat capacity, C, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. The energy needed to warm an object increases as the mass of that object increases. We see this in our everyday life. For example, we know that it takes much more energy to heat a large tank of water than a small...

The initial temperature of 140 g of ice is −22°C. The specific heat capacity of ice is 0.5 cal/g·C° and waters is 1 cal/g·C°. The latent heat of fusion of water is 80 cal/g. a. How much heat is required to raise the ice to 0°C? b. How much additional heat is required to completely melt the ice after it has reached 0°C? c. How much additional heat is required to heat the water (obtained by melting the ice) to...

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 18.3 grams of gold to 99.38°C and then drops it into a cup containing 80.2 grams of water at 20.87°C. She measures the final temperature to be 21.40°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of gold to be J/g°C.
