Question

Calculate the energy in joules and calories, for each of the following (see Table 2.8):a. required to heat 5.25 g of water from 5.5 °C to 64.8 °Cb. lost when 75.0 g of water cools from 86.4 °C to 2.1 °Cc. required to heat 10.0 g of silver from 112 °C to 275 °Cd. lost when 18.0 g of gold cools from 224 °C to 118 °CTABLE 2.8 Specific Heats of Some SubstancesSubstance(J/g °C)(Cal/g °C)Elements Aluminum, Al(s)0.8970.214Copper, Cus(s)0.3850.0920Gold, Au(s)0.1290.0308Iron, Fe(s)0.4520.108Silver, Ag(s)0.2350.0562Titanium, Ti(s)0.5230.125Compounds Ammonia, NH3(g)2.040.488Ethanol, C2H5OH(l)2.460.588Sodium chloride, NACL(s)0.8640.207Water, H2Ol4.1841.00

Solution

Solution 38QPStep 1 of 2:The goal of the problem is to calculate the energy, in joules and calories. We know, the formula to calculate specific heat: Specific heat = This can be rewritten to calculate heat energy as: Heat = mass Tspecific heatT is the change in temperature and it is calculated as shown below: T = Final temperature (Tf) - Initial temperature (Ti )Using the above formulas, let’s calculate the energy for given statements.________________
