Heating Water : Modeling with a Linear Equation
Water is the most importnt substance on Earth. One reason for its usefulness is that is exists as a liquid over a wide range of temp. In its liquid range, water absorbs or releases heat directly in proportion to its change in temp. Consider the following datathat shows temp of a 1,000 g sampe of water at normal atmospheric pressure as a function of heat supplied. A kJ can simply be thought of a unit of heat.
0C 0kJ
10C 42kJ
30C 126kJ
50C 209kJ
80C 335kJ
99C 414kJ
100C 420kJ
Based on this data please supply the following
Provide a graph of the data. Is the graph sufficiently linear to allow prediction of heat supplied versus temperature in the range of 0-100C?
If so, use Microsoft Excel to provide an equation that relates heat, y, supplied to temp, x, in the range of 0-100C.
Are the results consistent with expected equation, heat =(1.00 cal/g oC) *mass in grams* (final temp-initial temp)? please comment.
Use your equation to solve for the following: Heat supplied at 60C, final temp. when 175kJ of heat has been supplied, initial temp if 200kJ of heat is added and the final temp is 50C.
Can the model supply heat/temp. data in other ranges, for example at -5 C or at 150 C? Explain why or why not.
This whole thing makes no sense to me. So if someone could please steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. The C in this problem stands for Celsius degrees
