OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you learned the equation Q=mcT yet?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yes yes yes!!! !XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what c is?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

heat capacity

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

sorry...

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i meant specific heat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the specific heat capacity of water

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

the amount of energy it requires to raise the temperature of a 1Kg substance by 1 degreeeeeeeee

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

4.2X 10^3J/KgC

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

but pleaase answer my question please.........can't i just take 2 Kg of water and turn it into steam or something?!?1/1?!!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesh but you need to know the temperature in which water turns into steam...which is?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

hunnet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can probably do the rest i believe

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ive done the question for 2 KG and not 8Kg.....

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i just took 2Kg water and turned it into stream...

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

Q = mct Q = 8Kg X 4.2X10^3J/KGC X 100C-25C Q = 2520J

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i honestly don't know what to do :"(

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ok thats the nergy required to boil 8Kg of water.... whats next?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find energy of the water at 25 degrees then find energy at of water at 100 degrees. You then subtract

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yes but that would be for 8Kg of water right???????

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

any idea????

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

and since there is a change of state i think we need to add another formula.......Q = ml

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.46*10^6J?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

what is that????????????/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant really think right now, but the answer is prolly something like this: Q = mct Q1=8kg*4.2*10^3*25--->Q2+Q3 where Q2=2*4.2*10^3*100 and Q3=2*2.23*10^6 so therefore energy added=Q2+Q3-Q1 which is equal to Q3 since Q2=Q1 and Q3=4.45*10^6 There is a good chance im wrong but im legit dying i need sleep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and by 4.45 i mean 4.46

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ok but there is a change of state of matter....Q= ml......what about that, your turning water to stream

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Q3 is the change of state

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if im not mistaken m=2 l=2.23*10^6 J/kg or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont remember

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

ok hun thanks....i love you,,,,, muuuuuuhhhaaaa, sweet dreams!! :")

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah night lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if im wrong tho xD

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i'll figure it out eventually.... LOL

OpenStudy (mrnood):

OK - first you need to raise the temperature of the water from 25 C to 100C. You were correct above and your calculation was: Q = 8Kg X 4.2X10^3J/KGC X 100C-25C Q = 2520J BUT now you need to add more energy to convert the water at 100 C to Steam at 100 C for this you need the 'latent heat (or enthalpy) of vapourisation and the equation is Q= mL so there are 2 'lots' of energy required: first 'specific heat' to raise the temp to 100 then 'latent heat' to turn the water into steam at 100 C add them together for the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks Mr Nood lol! Turns out i slept 17 consecutive hours... wtf

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

imma give you a medal just for that....LOL

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

i figured out the question......you don't subtract, you divide by 4....since it's a 8:2 ratio. i did it both ways, i'm getting the same answer!!!!!!! XD

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

and yes that's exactly what Mr.Noob said XD....

OpenStudy (mrnood):

I have no idea why you seem fixated on 2kg or any 8:2 ratio use the specific heat capacity for 8kg raised 75 K use the latent heat for 8kg from water at 100 C to steam at 100 C add them together
