Homes may be heated by pumping hot water through radiators. What mass of water will provide the same amount of heat when cooled from 95.0 to 35.0 °C, as the heat provided when 100 g of steam is cooled from 110 °C to 100°C.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of water required to produce the same heat is 7.43g as the heat provided during steam conversion.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

In the following problem, two states of water are mentioned, one is a liquid state and another gaseous (steam) state.

In case of liquid water, the state of water changes from 95Cto35C. In case of steam, the temperature of steam changes from 110Cto100C.

As per the problem, we have to calculate the mass of water that will provide the same amount of heat. This is the amount of heat provided by steam on its conversion.

02

Amount of heat released

To solve the problem, we will first calculate the amount of heat released when the state of steam is changed.

let,Amountofheatreleased=qWearegoingtousetheformula,q=msΔT............(1)[Here,q=amountofheatreleased,m=massofsteam=100gs=specificheatofsteam=1.864J/gCΔT=chnageintemperature=(TfinalTinitial)=(100C110C)=10CSubstitutingthevaluesinequation(1),q=100g×1.864J/gC×10C=1864J.

So, we have calculated the amount of heat released by steam during its conversion.

03

Mass of water required

Now, we have to calculate the mass of water required to produce the same amount of heat during its conversion.

Amountofenergyreleased,qwater=1864Jqwater=mwater×swater×ΔT....................(2)Here,mwater=massofwater{wehavetocalculate}swater=specificheatofwater=4.184J/gCΔT=changeintemperature=(3595)C=60CSubstitutingthevaluesinequation(2),1864J=mwater×4.184J/gC×60Cmwater=1864J4.184J/gC×60C=7.43g

Hence, the mass of water required to produce the same heat is 7.43g of water.
