  • Water Temperature Calculations

    Answer: The latent heat of evaporation at 100C is 540 cal/g The latent heat of melting at 0C is 80 cal/g Therefore: a. Every gram of ice will take (80 + 100) cal to melt and warm up to 100C.

  • change in entropy of the ice/water

    Lwater = Q/m = 540 cal/1 g = 540000 cal/1 kg ΔSwater = Q/T = (540000)(4.186)/303 = 7460.20 J/K The part is wrong. T is changing so you cannot divide T directly.

  • Spacing of Rails/Removal of Heat

    We have, Qh = Qc + W, where, coefficient of performance, K = Qc/W Here K = 2.40, Mass of water, m = 1.8 Kg = 1800 gm heat removed in cooling water from 25C to 0 C, q1 = m *cw *dT where, cw is the specific heat of water = 1 cal/(g C), dT

  • heat and energy

    The canister is placed in an oven until all the H2O has boiled off and the canister is empty. How much energy in calories was absorbed? Water's heat of fusion is 80 cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0 , and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g.

  • Gas, Entropy Changes, Temperature

    (Specific heat of iron is 0.107 Cal/g*C. Latent heat of water vaporization is 540 cal/g) 4. Calculate the change in entropy of 250 g of water heated slowly from 20ºC to 80ºC.

  • Heating Water : Modeling with a Linear Equation

    This is because water freezes below 0 C an evaporates above 100C, so the usual equation is not applicable. Latent heat of fusion/evaporation comes into picture. Whether the heating of water can be modeled with a linear equation is investigated.

  • Specific Heats and Atomic Masses Using a Calorimeter

    The temperature of the water has gone up by 10 degrees C. qwater = cwatermwaterTwater = 1 cal/g/ oC x 100.0g x 10 oC = 1000 cal 2. The heat released by the copper block is equal to the heat absorbed by the water.

  • Heat Loss and Specific Heat

    In other words (deltaH of calorimeter and water) = - (deltaH of metal) This is equal to -cm(Tf-Ti) for the metal or -564 cal/[130.56 g * (30.5 deg C - 100.4 deg C)] = c c = 0.0620 cal/g*deg C or this is equal to 0.260 J/g*deg C. b.
