A126.1-gram block of granite at 92.6°c is dropped into a tub of water at 24.7°c in an isolated system. the final temperature of both the granite and the water is 51.9°c. the specific heat capacity of granite is 0.795 joules/gram degree celsius, and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joules/gram degree celsius. the granite block transferred of energy, and the mass of the water is .copy 1 a. 21,500 joules b. 6,810 joules c. 4,080 joulescopy 2 a. 189 grams b. 55.8 grams. c. 35.8 grams

The granite block transferred 4080 J of energy, and the mass of the water is 35.8 g.

1. Energy from granite block

The formula for the heat (q) transferred is

q = mCΔT

m = 126.1 g; C = 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; ΔT = T_f – T_i = 51.9 °C - 92.6 °C = -40.7 °C

∴ q = 126.1 g × 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × (-40.7 °C) = -4080 J

The granite block transferred 4080 J.

2. Mass of water

q = mCΔT

m = q/(CΔT)

q = 4080 J; C = 4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; ΔT = T_f – T_i = 51.9 °C – 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C

∴ m = 4080 J/(4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 27.2 °C) = 35.8 g

The mass of the water is 35.8 g.

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
