Heat/First Law of Thermodynamics/Calorimetry - Have work done

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the final temperature when mixing water and ice using the principles of calorimetry and the first law of thermodynamics. The user applied the formula involving the mass of ice, its latent heat, and the specific heat capacity of water to find the final temperatures for two scenarios: one with 48 g of ice and another with 460 g. The calculated final temperature for the first scenario is 297.56 K (24.41 °C), while for the second scenario, it is 266.433 K (-6.7167 °C). The heat transfer is based on the principle that the heat lost by the warmer water equals the heat gained by the colder ice. The negligible heat capacity of the calorimeter is noted, ensuring it does not affect the heat exchange.

Heat/First Law of Thermodynamics/Calorimetry -- Have work done

A calorimeter of negligible mass contains 920 g of water at 303 K and 48 g of ice at 273 K. Find the final temperature T.
°C
Solve the same problem if the mass of ice is 460 g.
°C

Formula I've used
Mice * Lf + Mice * Cwater * change in T icewater = Mwater * Cwater * change in T water

(.048kg)(79.7kcal/kg)+(.048kg)(1kcal/kgxK)(Tf - 273K) =
(.92kg)(1kcal/kgxK)(303K-Tf)

Ive gotten Tf to be 297.56K which is 24.41 C

and for part B I've gotten the answer to be 266.433K which is -6.7167 C

Is this correct?

I would start with the idea that the -q(water)= q(ice)
This is because the water is warmer and it is losing heat to the ice. It will continue transferring heat until both are at the same temperature. Since the calorimeter has negligible heat capacity, it does not absorb any of the heat that the water gives off.
From here you can say that the -ms(t(fin)-t(int)) for water is equal to ms(t(fin)-t(int)) for the ice.
Hope that helps.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
