6. an unknown material has a normal melting/freezing point of 225.0 °c, and the liquid
phase has a specific heat capacity of 160 j/(kg? cº). one-tenth of a kilogram of the solid
at 225.0 c is put into a 0.150-kg aluminum calorimeter cup that contains 0.100 kg ot
glycerin. the temperature of the cup and the glycerin is initially 27.0 °c. all the
unknown material melts, and the final temperature at equilibrium is 20.0 °c. the
calorimeter neither loses energy to nor gains energy from the external environment.
what is the latent heat of fusion of the unknown material?

19.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant that the melting/freezing point is -25.0 °C.

Heat gained by the unknown material = heat lost by the oil and aluminum

mL + mCΔT = -(mCΔT + mCΔT)

First, let's find the amount of heat gained by the unknown material:

(0.100 kg) L + (0.100 kg) (160 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − (-25.0°C))

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J

The heat lost by the oil:

(0.100 kg) (2430 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − 27.0°C)

-1701 J

The heat lost by the aluminum:

(0.150 kg) (910 J/kg/°C) (20.0°C − 27.0°C)

-955.5 J

Therefore:

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J = -(-1701 J + (-955.5 J))

(0.100 kg) L + 720 J = 2656.5 J

(0.100 kg) L = 1936.5 J

L = 19365 J/kg

L = 19.4 kJ/kg

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
