Capitolo 19, Problema 19.31

(II) A cube of ice is taken from the freezer at -8.5°C and placed in an 85-g aluminum calorimeter filled with 310 g of water at room temperature of 20.0°C. The final situation is all water at 17.0°C. What was the mass of the ice cube?

Calculate the heat lost by the water and the calorimeter. Use the formula \(Q = mc\Delta T\), where \(m\) is the mass, \(c\) is the specific heat capacity (for water, \(c = 4.18 \, \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}\) and for aluminum, \(c = 0.900 \, \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}\)), and \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature.
Calculate the heat gained by the ice to raise its temperature from -8.5°C to 0°C using the same heat formula. For ice, use the specific heat capacity \(c = 2.09 \, \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}\).
Calculate the heat required to melt the ice at 0°C. Use the formula $Q = mL$, where \(m\) is the mass of the ice and \(L\) is the latent heat of fusion for ice (\(L = 334 \, \text{J/g}\)).
Set up the equation where the total heat lost by the water and the calorimeter equals the total heat gained by the ice. This includes the heat to raise the temperature of the ice to 0°C and the heat to melt the ice.
Solve the equation for the mass of the ice, \(m_{\text{ice}}\). This will give you the mass of the ice cube initially placed in the calorimeter.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer is the process by which thermal energy moves from one object to another due to a temperature difference. In this scenario, heat flows from the warmer water and aluminum calorimeter to the colder ice cube, causing the ice to melt and the water to cool down until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Overview of Heat Transfer

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Each material has a unique specific heat capacity, which influences how much energy is absorbed or released during temperature changes. In this problem, the specific heat capacities of water and aluminum are crucial for calculating the heat exchanges.

Phase Change

Phase change refers to the transition of a substance from one state of matter to another, such as from solid to liquid. During the melting of ice, energy is absorbed without a change in temperature until the ice completely transitions to water. This latent heat of fusion must be accounted for when determining the mass of the ice cube in the calorimetry problem.
