A0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900j/kg⋅∘c) is heated to 200∘c. the block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of cold water at 0∘c (cwater=4186j/kg⋅∘c) and sealed. at equilibrium, the temperature of the water and block are measured to be 20∘c. if the original experiment is repeated with a 1.0 kg aluminum block, what is the final temperature of the water and block? if the original experiment is repeated with a 1.0 kg copper (ccopper=387 j/kg⋅∘c) block, what is the final temperature of the water and block? if the original experiment is repeated but 100 g of the 0∘c water is replaced with 100 g of 0∘c ice, what is the final temperature of the water and block? if the original experiment is repeated but 100 g of the 0∘c water is replaced with only 25 g of 0∘c ice, what is the final temperature of the water and block?

When 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be T = 36.2∘C

If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be = 17.4∘C

If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be= 147.1∘C

Explanation:

H = mcΘ

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

m₁c₁Θ₁ = m₂c₂Θ₂ where m₁ is mass of aluminium, m₂ is mass of water, c₁ is cAluminium, c₂ is cWater, Θ₁ is temperature change for aluminium, Θ₂ is temperature change for water.

0.5*900*(200-20) = m₁*4186*(20-0)

m₁ = 450*180/83270

m₁ = 0.973kg

when 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be T

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*900*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

180000 - 900T = 4073T

4973T = 180000

T = 180000/4973 = 36.2∘C

If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*387*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

77400 - 387T = 4073T

4460T = 77400

T = 77400/4460 = 17.4∘C

If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be

heat lost by block = heat gained by water + heat used in melting ice to form water at 0∘C

heat used in melting 0.1kg of ice, H = ml, where l= 33600J/Kg

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.1*4186*(T-0) + 0.1*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  418.6T + 33600

418.6T + 450T = 90000 - 33600

868.6T = 56400

T = 56400/868.6 = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.025*4186*(T-0) + 0.025*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  104.65T + 8400

104.65T + 450T = 90000 - 8400

554.65T = 81600

T = 81600/554.65 = 147.1∘C
