A sample of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.449 J.g¹.°C, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at 92.4 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 19.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 20.3 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the iron sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits. X S insulated container water sample a calorimeter C 0 E 5

Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
Question
Transcribed Image Text:**Calorimetry Experiment: Calculating Mass of an Iron Sample**
A sample of iron, with a specific heat capacity of 0.449 J·g⁻¹·°C⁻¹, is placed in a calorimeter (see sketch on the right) that contains 300.0 g of water. Initially, the temperature of the iron sample is 92.4 °C, while the water starts at 19.0 °C. The temperature of the water stabilizes at 20.3 °C. Atmospheric pressure is maintained at 1 atm throughout the experiment.
### Objective:
Calculate the mass of the iron sample. Ensure the answer is rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures.
### Diagram Explanation:
- **Diagram with Labels**:
- The sketch illustrates a typical calorimetry setup.
- **Thermometer**: Used for measuring temperature changes.
- **Insulated Container**: Minimizes heat exchange with the environment.
- **Water**: Acts as the surrounding medium for the sample.
- **Sample**: The iron block placed in water whose mass we need to calculate.
### Calculation:
Enter the calculated mass in the provided input box, and ensure significant digits are correctly applied. Use the provided calculator interface for assistance if needed.
