A,  Inside a calorimeter is 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 10 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside of a calorimeter. When equilibrium has been reached the new temperature of the water and metal object is 40 ºC. What type of metal is the object made from? Mass of water = 100 g Specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g Change in temp of water = .2 ºC   Mass of metal = 10 g Specific heat of metal = unknown Change in temp of the metal = 10 ºC   Mass of water x SH of water (Change in temp of water) = Mass of metal x SH of metal (Change in temp of metal) 100g x 4.186 j/g( .2) = 10g x SH of metal( 10) 83.72 =100 =.8372 j/g   Why is ΔTmetal < 0?   Why is ΔTwater > 0 ?

Question

I need help with question number 1 and 2 at the end.

I attempted question A and would like to know if i did it right

thanks so much

 

A,  Inside a calorimeter is 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 10 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside of a calorimeter. When equilibrium has been reached the new temperature of the water and metal object is 40 ºC. What type of metal is the object made from?

Mass of water = 100 g

Specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g

Change in temp of water = .2 ºC

 

Mass of metal = 10 g

Specific heat of metal = unknown

Change in temp of the metal = 10 ºC

 

Mass of water x SH of water (Change in temp of water) = Mass of metal x SH of metal (Change in temp of metal)

100g x 4.186 j/g( .2) = 10g x SH of metal( 10)

83.72 =100

=.8372 j/g

 

  1. Why is ΔTmetal < 0?

 

  1. Why is ΔTwater > 0 ?
