1. The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.461 J g–1 K–1 and that of titanium is 0.544 J g–1 K–1. A sample consisting of a mixture of 10.0 g Fe and 10.0 g Ti at 100.0 ºC loses 200. J of heat to the environment. What is the final temperature of the sample?

Answer:

The answer is 80,1 °C

Explanation:

Let´s start from the mass of the sample and the heat capacities:

First of all, we must calculate an average heat capacity. That's because we have a mixture and it is unknown the heat capacity of the whole sample.

The way we should do this calculation is as follows:

(1) [tex]H_{average}=Mass Fraction_{first component}* H_{first component}+MassFraction_{secondcomponent}*H_{second component}[/tex]

For example, the mass fraction of Fe is simply:

(2) [tex]MassFraction_{Fe}=\frac{10g Fe}{10g Fe + 10gTi}=0.5[/tex]

If you combine the equations (1) and (2) you have:

(3) [tex]H_{average}=0.5*0.461+0.5*0.544=0.5025\frac{J}{g-K}[/tex]

Once calculated the average heat capacity we can solve the problem taking into account the corresponding equation:

(4) [tex]Q=m*H_{average}*(T_2-T_1)[/tex]

Remember that:

Q: Heat gained or lost

m: Mass of the sample you want to analize

[tex]H_{average}[/tex] : The value obtained in equation (3)

[tex]T_2[/tex]: Final temperature of the sample

[tex]T_1[/tex]: Initial temperature of the sample

Now we must replace the problem data in equation (4)

Take into account:

  • Heat gained in a system have a positive value
  • Heat lost in a system have a negative value
  • In this problem the sample loses 200 J, for this reason [tex]Q=-200J[/tex]
  • The mass of the whole sample is: 10g of Fe + 10g of Ti = 20g of sample
  • The temperatures must be in absolute units of temperature (these are: rankine or kelvin)
  • The initial temperature of the system is 100°C or 373K

Now we are ready to use equation (4):

(5) [tex]-200J=20g*0.5025\frac{J}{g*K} *(T_2-373K)[/tex]

It is clear that the unknown in equation (5) is [tex] T_2 [/tex]

The next step is to calculate [tex] T_2 [/tex]. Don't forget the signs; these are important.

Key concept: Since the system is loosing heat, the final temperature of the system ( [tex] T_2 [/tex]) should be lower than the initial temperature ( [tex] T_1 [/tex] )

Answer:

80,1
