Suppose that 0.95 g of water condenses on a 75.0 g block of iron that is initially at 22 °c. if the heat released during condensation is used only to warm the iron block, what is the final temperature (in °c) of the iron block? (assume a constant enthalpy of vaporization for water of 44.0 kj/mol.)

Respuesta :

Answer : The final temperature of iron block will be 91 degree celcius.

Explanation:

Heat released during condensation of water = Heat absorbed by iron block

[tex]Q= n\times\Delta H_{vap}[/tex]

Q= heat absorbed or released

n = number of moles

[tex]DeltaH_{vap}= enthalpy of vaporisation[/tex]

[tex]\text{no of moles}= \frac{given mass}{Molecular mass}[/tex]

[tex]\text{no of moles}=\frac{0.95g}{18gmole^{-1}}[/tex]

                                    = 0.053 moles

[tex]Q= 0.053mole\times44.0kJmole^{-1}[/tex]

         = 2.322 kJ = 2322 Joules

[tex]Q=m\times c\times Deltat[/tex]

[tex]\text{Heat absorbed by iron block}=m\times c\times\Delta t[/tex]

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity

[tex]\Deltat[/tex]=change in temperature

[tex]2322=75g\times0.450J/g^0C\times{T_{final}-T_{initial}}[/tex]

[tex]2322=75\times0.450\times{T_{final}-22}[/tex]

[tex]T_{final}=91^0C[/tex]





The final temperature of a block of iron whose mass is 75.0 g that was initially at 22 °C after gaining heat during condensation of water of mass 0.95 g is 90.8 °C.

Further Explanation:

Heat capacity  

  • Heat capacity refers to the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object or a substance by one degree Celsius or 1 Kelvin.
  • Heat capacity is thus expressed as Joules/°C

Specific heat capacity  

  • This is the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius or 1 Kelvin.
  • It is expressed as Joule/kg/°C or J/g/°C. For example the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g/°C

Quantity of Heat  

  • Quantity of Heat is calculated using the formula;

Q = mCΔT

Where Q is the Quantity of heat, m is the mass of the object, C is the specific heat capacity of the object and ΔT is the resulting change in temperature.

  • ΔT is given by the difference between initial temperature and final temperature.  

That is; ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial

In this Question;

Heat released during condensation is equivalent to the heat absorbed by iron block.

Step 1; Moles of water

1 mole of water is 18.0 g/mol

Thus; number of moles = 0.95 g/18 g/mol

                                       = 0.053 moles of water

Step 2: Heat released during condensation

Heat released during condensation = Number of moles x Latent heat of vaporization

Q = 0.053 moles x 44.0 kJ/mol

  = 2.322 Kj

Step 3: Heat gained by Iron block and change in temperature

Q = mCΔT

m = 75 g

c = 0.450 J/g/°C

Therefore;

Q = 75 g x  0.450 J/g/°C x ΔT

2322 J = 75 g x  0.450 J/g/°C x ΔT

ΔT = 68.8°C

Step 4; Calculating final temperature

ΔT = Tfinal - Tinitial

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = initial temperature + Change in temperature

                              = 68.8 + 22

                             = 90.8 °C
