A400-g block of iron at 400°c is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible heat capacity) containing 60 g of water at 30°c. how much steam is produced?

Amount of steam produced = m' = 16.1 grams

Explanation:

Mass of the block of iron = M = 400 g

Initial temperature of iron = = 400 °C

Mass of water = m = 60 g

Initial temperature of water = = 30 °C

Specific heat of iron = 450 J/kgC

Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg C

Latent heat of vaporization of water = L =

Heat lost by iron = Heat gained by water + Heat of vaporization.

(400)(450)(400 - 100)= (60)(4186)(100 - 30) + m' (

⇒ 5.4 × 10⁷ = 1.7581 × 10⁷ + 22.6 × 10⁵ m'

⇒ m'=mass of steam produced =3.642 × 10⁷ / 22.6 × 10⁵ kg

                                                    = 16.1 grams

The mass of steam produced would be 21.95 g

Explanation:

The heat that the iron block would lose will be gained by water, this is expressed thus;

Heat loss by  Iron = Heat gain by water;

Given that;

mass of block = 400 g / 1000 = 0.4 kg

Initial temp of iron = 400°C

mass of water = 60 g / 1000 = 0.06 kg

heat vaporization of water L (constant) = 22.6 x J/Kg

average specific heat of the iron over this temperature range is = 560 J/Kg K.

Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J / kg K

heat lost by iron = heat gain by water .......................1

ΔT is the change in temperature.

m is the mass of steam during vaporization

Heat loss by iron =  x  x ΔT

                             = 0.4 x 560 x (400-100)

                             = 67200 J

Heat gained by water =   (ΔT ) + m  L    

expression 1 would be;                          

67200 = 17581.2 + m x (22.6 x  )

Making m the subject formula we have;

m  = ( 67200-17581.2 ) / ( 22.6 x  )

m  = 0.0219 kg x 1000 = 21.95 g

Therefore the amount of steam produced would be 21.95 g

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
