An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40 g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 410 g sample of silver at an initial temperature of 88°C is placed in the water. The stirrer is used to stir the mixture gently until it reaches its final equilibrium temperature of 32°C. Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.

130.22 g

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of water Mw = 225 g

Mass of stirrer Ms = 40 g

Mass of silver M(S) = 410 g

By applying the law of conservation of energy:

(McCc + MsCs + MwCw)ΔTw = M(S)C(S)ΔT(S)

where Mc = Mass of cup

Cc = Specific heat capacity of aluminium cup = 900 J/gC

Cs = Specific heat capacity of copper stirrer = 387 J/gC

Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/gC

ΔTw = change in temperature of water = 32 - 27 = 5 °C

C(S) = Specific heat capacity of silver = 234 J/gC

ΔT(S) = change in temperature of silver = 88 - 32 = 56 °C

Therefore:

[(Mc * 900) + (40 * 387) + (225 * 4186)] * 5 = 410 * 234 * 56

(900Mc + 957330) * 5 = 5276700

900Mc + 957330 = 5276700 / 5 = 1074528

900Mc = 1074528 - 957330

900Mc = 117198

Mc = 117198/ 900

Mc = 130.22 g

The mass of the cup is 130.22 g.

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
