Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The initial volume of water is100.0 mL. The initial temperature of water is23.7°C3. The final equilibrium temperature is27.8°C4. The specific heat capacity of water is4.18 J/g°C5. The density of water is approximately1 g/mL

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the volume of water to mass. Since the density of water is approximately1 g/mL, the mass of water is equal to the volume.
MassH2=VolumeH2Mass_{H2} = Volume_{H2}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the volume of water to calculate the mass.
MassH2=100.0mLMass_{H2} =100.0\, mL

STEP 4

Calculate the mass of water.
MassH2=100.0mL=100.0gMass_{H2} =100.0\, mL =100.0\, g

STEP 5

Next, we need to calculate the change in temperature. This can be done by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.
Δ=finalinitial\Delta =_{final} -_{initial}

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the initial and final temperatures to calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=27.8C23.C\Delta =27.8^{\circ}C -23.^{\circ}C

STEP 7

Calculate the change in temperature.
Δ=27.C23.7C=4.1C\Delta =27.^{\circ}C -23.7^{\circ}C =4.1^{\circ}C

STEP 8

Now that we have the mass of water and the change in temperature, we can calculate the amount of energy absorbed by the water using the formulaQ=mCΔQ = m \cdot C \cdot \Deltawhere- QQ is the heat energy absorbed, - mm is the mass of the substance, - CC is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and- Δ\Delta is the change in temperature.

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the mass of water, the specific heat capacity of water, and the change in temperature to calculate the heat energy absorbed.
Q=100.g4.18JgC4.CQ =100.\, g \cdot4.18\, \frac{J}{g \cdot ^{\circ}C} \cdot4.\, ^{\circ}C

STEP 10

Calculate the heat energy absorbed by the water.
Q=100.0g4.18JgC4.C=1714.18JQ =100.0\, g \cdot4.18\, \frac{J}{g \cdot ^{\circ}C} \cdot4.\, ^{\circ}C =1714.18\, JThe water absorbed1714.18 Joules of energy.
