A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degrees celsius . During the reaction 69.0kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask.

Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18J*g*K. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        q = 69.0 kJ = 69000 J (as 1 kJ = 1000 J),

       mass (m) = 8.10 kg = 8100 g  (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

        [tex]T_{i} = 33.9^{o}C[/tex] = (33.9 + 273) K = 306.9 K

         C = 4.18 J/gK

As we know that the relation between heat and change in temperature is as follows.

                   q = [tex]m \times C \times \Delta T[/tex]

Putting the values into the above formula to calculate the final temperature as follows.

                  q = [tex]m \times C \times \Delta T[/tex]

       69000 J = [tex]8100 g \times 4.18 J/g K \times (T_{f} - 306.9 K)[/tex]                

           69000 J = [tex]33858 \times (T_{f} - 306.9 K)[/tex]

                  [tex](T_{f} - 306.9 K)[/tex] = 2.037 K

                    [tex]T_{f}[/tex] = (2.037 + 306.9) K

                                  = 308.9 K

or,                               = 309 K (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that the new temperature of the water bath is 309 K.

The new temperature of the water bath is 309 K.

What is the specific heat?

In a chemical reaction, The specific heat is the quantity of heat needed to change the temperature of 1 kg of mass by 1 ° C.

It can be expressed by the formula:

Q = mcΔT

From the parameters given:

  • The mass of the water bath = 8.10 kg = 8100 g
  • The temperature of the water bath = 33.9 °  C = (273 + 33.9) K = 306.9 K
  • The specific heat  = 69.0 kJ = 69000 J

Using the relation of the specific heat:

Q = mcΔT

69000 J = 8100 g × 4.18 J/gK × (T₂ - T₁)

69000 J = 8100 g × 4.18 J/gK × (T₂ - 306.9 K)

T₂ = 308.9 K

T₂ ≅ 309 K

Therefore, we can conclude that the new temperature of the water bath is 309 K.
