A73.6 g sample of aluminum is heated to 95.0°c and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0°c. if the resulting temperature of the water is 30.0°c, what is the specific heat of the metal?

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.875 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The mass of the aluminium sample = 73.6 grams

Initial temperature of the sample = 95.0 °C

Mass of water = 100.0 grams

Initial temperature of water = 20.0 °C

Final temperature of water and aluminium = 30.0 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of aluminium

Q gained = Q lost

Qwater = -Qaluminium

Q =  m*c*ΔT

m(aluminium) * c(aluminium) * ΔT(aluminium) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(aluminium)

⇒ mass of aluminium = 73.6 grams

⇒ c(aluminium) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ ΔT(aluminium) = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 30 .0 °C - 95.0 °C = -65.0°C

⇒ mass of water = 100.0 grams

⇒ c(water ) = The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(water) = The change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = 30.0 - 20.0 = 10.0 °C

73.6g * c(aluminium) * -65.0 °C = 100.0g * 4.184 J/g°C * 10.0°C

-4784 * c(aluminium) = -4184

c(aluminium) = 0.875 J /g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.875 J/g°C

i think it's letter a.

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
