How many ml of water at 10 degrees c must be added to 75 ml of water at 35 degrees c to obtain a final temperature of 19 c?
[massH2O@10 x specific heatH2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)]+[massH2O@35 x specific heatH2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)]=0
Substitute and solve for massH2O@10
To determine the amount of water at 10 degrees Celsius needed to be added to achieve a final temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, we can use the formula for heat transfer:
Q1 + Q2 = 0
Where Q1 is the heat gained by the water at 10 degrees Celsius, and Q2 is the heat gained by the water at 35 degrees Celsius.
The heat gained or lost by a substance can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mcΔT
Where Q is the heat gained or lost, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
First, let's calculate the heat gained by the water at 10 degrees Celsius. We'll assume the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C:
Q1 = (m1)(c)(ΔT1)
Q1 = (m1)(4.18)(19 - 10)
Next, let's calculate the heat gained by the water at 35 degrees Celsius:
Q2 = (m2)(c)(ΔT2)
Q2 = (75)(4.18)(19 - 35)
Since Q1 + Q2 = 0, we can set the equations equal to each other:
(m1)(4.18)(19 - 10) = (75)(4.18)(19 - 35)
Now we can solve for m1, which represents the mass of water at 10 degrees Celsius:
(m1)(9.4) = (525)(-16)
Dividing both sides by 9.4:
m1 = (525)(-16) / (9.4)
m1 ≈ -896.8
Since mass cannot be negative, there is an error in the calculation. Please check the values entered and ensure the calculations are correct.
To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of energy and the formula for heat transfer. The formula is:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where:
Q is the heat transferred
m is the mass of the substance
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
To find the amount of water needed, we need to determine the heat transferred from the water at 10°C and the heat transferred from the water at 35°C, then set up an equation to solve for the mass of water at 10°C.
First, let's calculate the heat transferred from the water at 35°C:
Q1 = m1 * c * ΔT1
m1 is the mass of water at 35°C
c is the specific heat capacity of water (approximately 4.18 J/g°C)
ΔT1 is the change in temperature from 35°C to 19°C
Since Q1 is the same as Q2 (since the heat transfer is equal when the final temperature is reached), we can write:
Q1 = Q2
Next, let's calculate the heat transferred from the water at 10°C:
Q2 = m2 * c * ΔT2
m2 is the mass of water at 10°C
ΔT2 is the change in temperature from 10°C to 19°C
Since Q1 = Q2, we can substitute the formulas:
m1 * c * ΔT1 = m2 * c * ΔT2
Now, we can substitute the known values:
75 ml * 1 g/ml * 4.18 J/g°C * (35°C - 19°C) = m2 * 1 g/ml * 4.18 J/g°C * (19°C - 10°C)
Simplifying the equation:
75 * 4.18 * 16 = m2 * 4.18 * 9
Dividing both sides by 4.18:
m2 = (75 * 4.18 * 16) / (4.18 * 9)
m2 = 40 g
So, you must add 40 ml of water at 10 degrees celsius to the 75 ml of water at 35 degrees celsius to obtain a final temperature of 19 degrees celsius.
