The specific heat of glycerine.
Answer to Problem 16P
Solution:
The specific heat of glycerineis2356 J/kgK.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
is the specific heat of iron which is 460 J/kgk
is the specific heat of aluminium which is 921 J/kgk
is the specific heat of glycerine
is the mass of iron which is 290 g or 0.290 kg
is the mass of aluminium which is 95 g or 0.095 kg
is the mass of glycerine which is 250 g or 0.250 kg
is the temperature of copper which is 180 C
is the temperature of aluminium which is 10 C
is the temperature of glycerine which is 10 C
is equilibrium temperature which is 38 C
Formula Used:
The formula used is the relation between temperature and specific heat from thermodynamics
Where,
is the heat transferred
is the specific heat
is the mass
is the final temperature
is the initial temperature
From the formula above, the equilibrium temperature formula for calorimetry can be derived.
If two materials , and calorimeter with temperatures , and are in contact, then they will reach an equilibrium temperature .
This equilibrium temperature is given by equating the heat transferred by the three materials.
Equating the heat transferred is
This becomes
Where,
is the specific heat of material
is the specific heat of material
is the specific heat of material
is the mass of material
is the mass of material
is the mass of material
is the temperature of material
is the temperature of material
is the temperature of material
is equilibrium temperature
Calculation:
Inserting the given values in the equilibrium temperature formula for calorimetry:
J/kgK
