Question

1. Two bars of identical mass are at 27 °C. One is made from glass and the other from another substance. The specific heat capacity of glass is 840 J/(kg · C°). When identical amounts of heat are supplied to each, the glass bar reaches a temperature of 98 °C, while the other bar reaches 279.0 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of the other substance?

2.Objects A and B have the same mass of 4.7 kg and are at their melting points. They melt when 4.5 × 104 J of heat is added to A and when 10 × 104 J is added to B. (a), (b) Determine the latent heat of fusion for the substance from which each object is made. (c) Find the heat required to melt object A when its mass is 9.4 kg.  

3.Occasionally, huge icebergs are found floating on the ocean's currents. Suppose one such iceberg is 139 km long, 27.8 km wide, and 203 m thick. (a) How much heat in joules would be required to melt this iceberg (assumed to be at 0 °C) into liquid water at 0 °C? The density of ice is 917 kg/m3. (b) The annual energy consumption by the United States in 1994 was 9.3 x 1019 J. If this energy were delivered to the iceberg every year, how many years would it take before the ice melted?

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

1) T1 = 27 degree C

specific heat of glas , Sg = 840 J/(kg.degree C)

T2 = 98 degree C

T3 = 279 degree

heat gain by glass = heat gain by unknown sustance

m * Sg * (T2 - T1) = m * S * (T3 - T1)

840 * (98 - 27) = S * (279 - 27)

S = 236.7 J/(Kg.degree C)

the specific heat capacity of the other substance is 236.7 J/(Kg.degree C)

2)
m = 4.7 Kg

qA = 4.5 *10^4 J

qB = 10 *10^4 J

a) let the latent heat of object A is lA

qA = m * lA

4.5 *10^4 = 4.6 * lA

lA = 9782 J/(kg)

the latent heat of A is 9782 J/(kg)

b) for the latent heat of object B is lB

qB = m * lB

4.5 *10^4 = 4.6 * lB

lB = 21739 J/(kg)

the latent heat of B is 21739 J/(kg)

c) for the mass of A

mA = 9.4 Kg

heat required for mass A = mA * lA

heat required for mass A = 9.4 * 9782 J

heat required for mass A = 91951 J

the heat required for mass A is 91951 J
