Chapter EN, Problem 1PQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific heat of alloy has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Law of conservation of energy states that total energy of an isolated system remains constant, energy remains conserved overtime. This is first law of thermodynamics.

Quantity of heat exchanged in an experiment is dependent on 3 factors-amounts of materials, specific heat capacity and the temperature change the material undergoes. The general relationship is as follows:

  heat=(mass)(specificheat)(changeintemeprature)

Answer to Problem 1PQ

Option (B) is the correct one.

Explanation of Solution

When a sample of alloy is added to cooler water, heat flow will take place till thermal equilibrium is reached. Energy is conserved in this process, that is heat lost by silver is gained by water as per first law of thermodynamics.

The formula to calculate heat lost by alloy is a follows:

  heat lost=(mass of alloy)(specificheat)(T2T1)        (1)

Here,

  T2 is final temperature.

  T1 is initial temperature.

Substitute 45g for mass of alloy, 37°C for T2 and 100°C for T1 in equation (1).

  heat lost=(45g)(specificheat)(37°C100°C)=2835g°C(specificheat)

The formula to calculate heat gained by water is a follows:

  heat gained=(mass of water)(specificheat)(T2T1)        (2)

Substitute 100g for mass of alloy, 4.184Jg1°C for specific heat, 37°C for T2 and 25°C for T1 in equation (2).

  heat gained=(100g)(4.184Jg1°C1)(37°C25°C)=5020.8J

Since energy remains conserved so it can be expressed as follows:

  heat gained+heat lost=0

Substitute equation 5020.8J for heat gained and 2835g°C(specificheat) for heat lost.

  5020.8J+(2835g°C(specificheat))=0(specificheat)=5020.8J2835g°C=1.771Jg1°C1

The specific heat of alloy is 1.771Jg1°C1. Hence option (B) is correct.

Reason for incorrect option:

Since specific heat of alloy is 1.771Jg1°C1. Hence, choices (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The specific heat of alloy is 1.771Jg1°C1. Hence option (B) is correct.

Experiment:  Each team will be provided with 5g of a mixture of acetanilide and salicylic acid. You will divide it into three 1.5 g portions in separate 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks savıng some for melting point analysis. Dissolve the mixture in each flask in ~60mL of DI water by heating to boiling on a hotplate. Take the flasks off the hotplate once you have a clear solution and let them stand on the bench top for 5 mins and then allow them to cool as described below. Sample A-Let the first sample cool slowly to room temperature by letting it stand on your lab bench, with occasional stirring to promote crystallization. Sample B-Cool the second sample 1n a tap-water bath to 10-15 °C Sample C-Cool the third sample in an ice-bath to 0-2 °C Results: weight after recrystalization and melting point temp. A=0.624g,102-115° B=0.765g, 80-105° C=1.135g, 77-108 What is the percent yield of A,B, and C.
