help with enthalpy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i have no idea what this question is even asking for so: Part I: 1. Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation qwater = m × c × ΔT. We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL. The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So, qwater = qmetal 2. Using the formula qmetal = m × c × ΔT, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Use the data from your experiment for the metal in your calculation.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

perfect... thank you open study update </3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to set up a q and negative q equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So -q =q

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

|dw:1410725084177:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Q=mCdelta t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly, now input the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember temperature is in this case, final minus initial

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

Yeah that one .-. idk what theyre asking for known metal Measured mass of metal 27.776 Distilled water volume 25 Distilled water temperature 25.5 Temperature of metal 100.5 Temperature of mixture 38.9

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

what do you ean final?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Final is the temperature after the occurrence of the experiment and initial is the start temp

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yay your a yellow now <3

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so the initial temp is 25.5 and im guessing the mixtures temp is the final?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thanks haha

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

your welcome <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seems to be in this case if i stand corrected

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

well if it isnt the mixture than there is no final temperature so... well go with the mixture ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea haha

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so its just 38.9-25.5? thats easy 13.4

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

what i dont get is that whole equation. what is it asking for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea but then u need to calculate the wwters energy in joules and it has to be set equal to the mixtures

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so it would be 3.18J/(g x 13.4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the mixture or water?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

o.o i thought there was just one thing. thats what the 13.4 was for. like final - initial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where did u get. 3.18 from?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

*4.18 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok yea it is

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so there is only one thing to solve... and besides the 4.18 my equation is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait but didnt it say that you are trying to find the specific heat of the metal?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

erm.... i think its water "Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation" not too positive though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heh

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

http://prntscr.com/4mv4ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey aaron prison buddy! Remember?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so for the first part, \(q_{water}=m*C_p*[T_f-T_i]=25~g*(4.18~J/g*C^o)*[38.9-25.5]C^o\) is this what you have?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha hi arly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Who is that? Thats not my name !

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i mean, hi stranger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its the wrong person you are thinking of

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i think so... haha sorry. So is 2. regarding Part I or Part II, @lovelyharmonics ?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

part one

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

oh you changed your profile picture i didnt recognize you

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha i did. okay, so you already established that the heat absorbed by the water was released by the metal which is expressed mathematically with: \(-q_{metal}=q_{water}\) right?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

woah. thanks to studious i now realize that your name is aaron and your last name starts with a q....

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

and why thats so creepy is because we share the same name o.o different spelling but the same name none the less

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha you have the girl version, with an "e"?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha OS revelations today

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yeah erin <3 were related by name its official

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flirting i see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops thats to aaronq

OpenStudy (aaronq):

woo same name party!

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

no. i woudnt ever date someone with the same name as me. itd be too confusing when someone said "hey erin!" wed both turn to see whos talking and itd be a mess

OpenStudy (aaronq):

that would be really confusing hah back to the question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lonely im ms lonely

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yeah i tots did that though

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha be quiet you birdo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Third wheel haha

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

shes cool. shes with me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha be quiet you birdo

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha im just joking.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parrot to specific

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To be haha

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

dan is on your question you is good. you is fine.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you wanna use the quantity of heat you got from the first part. \(-q_{water}=27.776~g*C_p*[38.9-100.5]C^o\)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

holy crap where did that just come from

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i type fast, what can i say

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

no i mean where did the numbers just come from

OpenStudy (aaronq):

from the file you posted.. :P

OpenStudy (aaronq):

^there are several people already working on it, i'd hate to just intervene. If it's not resolved after they're through i will take a look.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i hate it when people inturrupt my question like thats what pm is for.... hey wait where did studious go .-.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i know, its pretty rude. um idk, her ipad crashes all the time, i'm sure she'll be back

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

shes back.. okay but seriously like you just conjured those numbers out of thin air....

OpenStudy (aaronq):

haha i just made them up... lol no really, look at the file you posted. The mass of the metal is there, and the initial temp as well as the final temp (as the temp of the mixture).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey dont cry you guys im back, and you aaron why are you talking about me behind my back, rude jk

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

wait what is C_p

OpenStudy (aaronq):

specific heat capacity

OpenStudy (aaronq):

sorry, i couldn't resist talking smack while you were gone.. it's just too easy

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

well thats 4.18J/(gxC)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

that's for the water

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i thought we were calculating the water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha yea bc u have a big mouth oooooooooo do you need some ice for that burn?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

nope, that was 1. in 2. we're using the data of the metal to find it's specific heat capacity

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

I PICKED ONE OF THESE WHICH ONE IT IS IDK http://prntscr.com/4mvgig

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i need some liquid nitrogen for that burn, please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaeven better..... DREADS hahah

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

kids, play nice now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Inside joke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha ok mommy but hes being mean

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

twin, quit being mean
