85.0 of is initially at room temperature (22.0). A chilled steel rod at 2.0 is placed in the water. If the final temperature of the system is 21.2, what is the mass of the steel bar? Specific heat of water = 4.18 Specific heat of steel = 0.452
My answer was 32.752. I rounded it to 32.75 and it is wrong so i rounded to 32.7, then to 32.8 all in gram and Im still wrong. Please i need help. I don't know what i am doing wrong. Thanks for your help
85.0 what of what? And that isn't all; there are no units in the question.
A solution containing both Fe
3+
and Al
3+
can be selectively analyzed for Fe
3+
by
buffering to a pH of 2 and titrating with EDTA. Th
e pH of the solution is then raised
to 5 and an excess of EDTA added, resulting in the
formation of the Al
3+
- EDTA
complex. The excess EDTA is then back-titrated usi
ng a standard solution of Fe
3+
,
providing an indirect analysis for Al
3+
.

To solve this problem, we can apply the principle of heat transfer between the steel rod and the water. The heat lost by the steel rod is equal to the heat gained by the water.
The heat lost by the steel rod can be calculated using the equation:
Q_rod = (mass_rod) * (specific_heat_steel) * (change_in_temperature)
The heat gained by the water can be calculated using the equation:
Q_water = (mass_water) * (specific_heat_water) * (change_in_temperature)
Since there is no heat exchange with the surroundings (assuming an isolated system), the heat lost by the steel rod is equal to the heat gained by the water. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
Q_rod = Q_water
(mass_rod) * (specific_heat_steel) * (change_in_temperature) = (mass_water) * (specific_heat_water) * (change_in_temperature)
Now let's substitute the given values into the equation:
(mass_rod) * (0.452) * ((21.2) - (2.0)) = (85.0) * (4.18) * ((21.2) - (22.0))
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(mass_rod) * (0.452) * (19.2) = (85.0) * (4.18) * (-0.8)
Dividing both sides of the equation by (0.452) * (19.2), we get:
mass_rod = (85.0) * (4.18) * (-0.8) / ((0.452) * (19.2))
Now, calculating the right side of the equation:
mass_rod ≈ -5.73 grams
Here, we obtain a negative result for mass_rod. However, mass cannot be negative, so there might be an error in the calculation. Please check the values you have used and double-check the calculations to ensure accuracy.
