Question

Consider a 1.2 mol block of iron with a specific heat capacity of 0.44 J/g°C. The atomic mass of Fe is 55.85 amu. 

(A) Calculate the heat absorbed in KJ if the block is heated from 18.1 °C to 31.5°C. You may assume that the heat capacity is constant over this temperature range. 

(B) What is the change in entropy, ΔS, for this same process?

 

Please explain for part a and b...

Expert Solution
Step 1

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the sample is given by:

q =m cTq is the heat of combustion, m is the mass,c is the heat capacity and T is the difference in temperature
