1. How much heat in joules is needed to raise the temperature of 7.0 L of water from 0°C to 78.0°C?

 

2. How much heat is necessary to change 300 g of ice at -15°C to water at 20°C?

 

Thank you!!

First let's find out how many CALORIES are required, and then convert to joules , knowing

1 cal = 4.184 j

 

One calorie will raise ONE GRAM of water ONE DEGREE Celsius

#calories = 7000 gm  x 78 C = 546000  CALORIES

 

546000 calories x 4.184 j/calorie = 2284.5 kj    (kj = KILOjoule)

 

 

2.  First you have to warm the ice up to 0 degrees

     300 g x 1cal/gram-C x  15 C = 4500 cal

 

     Then you have to add heat to it AT A CONSTANT TEMP to melt the ice @ 80 cal/gm

300gm x 80 cal/gm = 24000 cal

 

     Then you have to warm the water (melted ice at 0 degrees C) to 20 C

300 gm x 1 cal/gram-C  x 20 C  = 6000 calories

 

Add them all up  4500+24000+6000 = 34500 cal     =    144.3 kj

Unfourtanetly that wasn't correct.

I have been given this information, but I still can't seem to get the correct answer.

 

1. How much heat in joules is needed to raise the temperature of 7.5 L of water from 0°C to 87.0°C? (Hint: Recall the original definition of the liter.)
 2.73e+06 J

 

 

2.  How much heat is necessary to change 325 g of ice at -20°C to water at 20°C?

change g to kilograms; and to figure the heat here because it is original ice and will need to be melted you will do

The specific heat of ice calculation to get it from -20 to 0 °C + the heat of fusion to melt the ice +  the specific heat calculation to raise it to 20°C :

The specific heat of ice is .5kcal/kg*°C

 

H = m c ice ΔT + mLf  + m c ΔT =

 .325 kg (.5kcal   ) (20°C) + .325 kg (80 kcal)  + .325 kg ( 1 kcal)  (20°C)  = 35.75 kcal

                kg *°C                                        Kg                      kg * °C

I apologize.....I used the wrong specific heat for ice   I use 1     it is .5

 

so to heat the ice to zero degrees will require

300 x .5 x 15 = 2250 cal    (not 4500)

 

 

NOW add them up   2250 + 24000 + 6000 = 32250 cal = 134934 j = 134.9 kj

 

 

Sorry!

EP, the heat of fusion for 1g of water at 0 °C is approximately 334 joules or 79.7 calories.

Thank you! I tried to redo it, but I just could not figure it out.

The first answer was wrong as well, the answer needs to be in this format. 2.73e+06 J
Any ideas?

Thanx GA...I have always used 80

Well then the first answer becomes

2284.5 kj = 2284500j = 2.28 e+06

 

I am thinking there may be a slight conversion factor error in there....or an error in your answer.....

    I see no other way to get other than the answer I calculated.

 

What numbers are you using for specific heat of water?

This problem was just an example I had. 

 

How much heat in joules is needed to raise the temperature of 7.5 L of water from 0°C to 87.0°C? (Hint: Recall the original definition of the liter.)
 2.73e+06 J

 

The one I need to answer is this. 

 

How much heat in joules is needed to raise the temperature of 7.0 L of water from 0°C to 78.0°C? (Hint: Recall the original definition of the liter.)

 

I had already attempted to enter the answer in as you just said and it didn't work. So I'm really not sure what is going wrong.

Yes, if I use your EXAMPLE

 

How much heat in joules is needed to raise the temperature of 7.5 L of water from 0°C to 87.0°C? (Hint: Recall the original definition of the liter.)
 2.73e+06 J

 

 

7.5 L x 1000 gm/l   1 cal/gm-c x 87c = 652500 cal = 2.73 e +6    checks out fine

    I think the answer they are giving you is incorrect....

        either the temp change is wrong or the amount of water is incorrect.

Yeah I've redone it a few times and I keep getting 2.28e+06 J, and it's still saying it's wrong.

 

Thank you for all of your help. I really appreciate it.

Apparently I've been up to long. I didn't put the 10 in when I answered the question! Thanks again for your help. smiley

GA  pointed out that in j the heat of fusion is 333.55 j/g  ~ 79.72 cal/g   

    I used 80 cal/gm   (which is what we used when I was in H.S. Physics many years ago)  in my calc....so you may want to change that constant to get a slightly different answer to the SECOND question.....  OK ????   Instead of 24000 it would be 23916 calories for that part of the solution.

Yes, the SECOND question is right. After I converted it ends up being 32.24kcal.
