A metallic spoon is placed in a hot cup of coffee. If the coffee gives away 190 calories to the spoon to cool down by 0.75°C, what is the mass of the coffee? (Assume that ccoffee = 1.0 cal/gC°.)

Respuesta :

According to the definition of calorimetry,  the mass of the coffee is 253.33 g.

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

so, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.

c is the specific heat substance.

ΔT is the temperature variation.

Mass of coffee

In this case, Given is :

Q= 190 calories

c= 1

m= ?

ΔT= 0.75 C

Replacing in the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

190 cal = 1 × m× 0.75 C

Solving:

m= 190 cal÷ (1 × 0.75 C)

m=253.33 g

Finally, the mass of the coffee is 253.33 g.
