Question

8. If a sample of chloroform is initially at 25°C, what is its final temperature if 150.0 g of chloroform
absorbs 1.0 kilojoules of heat, and the specific heat of chloroform is 00.96 J/gºC?

Answer 1

Answer:

The final temperature is 31.95° C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial temperature of a sample of chloroform, $T_i=25^{\circ} C$

Mass of chloroform, m = 150 g

It absorbs 1 kJ of heat, Q = 10³ J

The specific heat of chloroform, c = 00.96 J/gºC

We need to find the final temperature. The heat absorbed by an object in terms of specific heat is given by :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\\dfrac{Q}{mc}+T_i=T_f\\\\T_f=\dfrac{10^3}{150\times 0.96}+25\\\\=31.95^{\circ} C$

So, the final temperature is 31.95° C.
