A58.5 g sample of glass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 250.0 g of water. the glass sample starts off at 91.2 °c and the temperature of the water starts off at 19.0 °c when the temperature of the water stops changing it's 21.7 the pressure remains constant at 1 atm. calculate the specific heat capacity of glass according to this experiment. be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits

The specific heat of the glass = 0.70 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of glass = 58.5 grams

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Initial temperature of glass = 91.2 °C

Initial temperature of water = 19.0 °C

Final temeprature = 21.7°C  

Pressure = 1 atm

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of glass

Heat gained = heat lost

Qwater = -Qglass

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(water) * c(water) * ΔT = -m(glass) * c(glass) * ΔT(glass)

⇒ with mass of water = 250.0 grams

⇒ with specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = T2 - T1 = The change in temperature = 21.7 - 19.0 = 2.7 °C

⇒ with mass of glass = 58.5 grams

⇒ with specific heat of glass = ?

⇒ with ΔT = T2 - T1 = The change in temperature = 21.7 - 91.2 °C = -69,5 °C

250*4.184*2.7 =-58.5*C(glass) * -69.5

2824.2 =4065.75*C(glass)

C(glass) = 0.70 J/g°C

The specific heat of glass = 0.70 J/g°C

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
