Law of Cooling Amy (Dohyun) Kim _10I Let’s say a 90.0 °C cup of coffee was placed in a refrigerator and after 4 minutes the temperature was measured to be 83.2 °C and in another 4 minutes it was measured to be 77.0 °C. In order to find out the initial temperature of the refrigerator and the time it takes for the coffee to cool down to 40.0°C, we will research about the Newton’s Law of Cooling rate and find a suitable model that describes the change in temperature over time. According to http://www.ugrad.math.ubc.ca, the solution for Newton’s Law of Cooling is T(t)=T_a+(T_0-T_a ) e^(-kt) T (t) = Temperature of the coffee at time t (°C) t=time (in minutes) T0=Initial temperature of the coffee (°C) Ta=Temperature of the refrigerator …show more content…
We can insert this into the formula in order to know the value of Ta and k: {█(83.2=T_a+(90.0-T_a ) e^(-4k)@77.0=T_a+(90.0-T_a ) e^(-8k) )┤ By using Wolfram Alpha, the values happen to be Ta= 12.9 and k=0.0231 {The values are rounded up to have 3 sig figs since the numbers that are presented in the information/introduction has 3 sig figs. (Except for the sample values below)} This means that the refrigerator temperature is ≈12.9°C If we organize the exact formula for the change of temperature in this experiment, it would …show more content…
Since the coffee and the refrigerator have a different temperature, the coffee temperature will decrease and will try to reach the same temperature with its surrounding. When we look at the sample values, we can see that the coffee’s temperature actually reached the same temperature as the refrigerator which is about 12.9°C and it stays constant no matter how much time pasts. Therefore, this experiment was an exponential case. Additionally, in order to know the amount of time it takes for the coffee to be 40.0°C, we could insert the number in the equation and calculate it, or find the value by using the graph above. The function would look like 40.0=12.9+(90.0-12.9) e^(-0.0231t) Again by using Wolfram Alpha, t ≈45.3 minutes which means that it will take about 45.3 minutes for the coffee to reach 40.0°C. To wrap up, through this investigation, we were able to investigate some of the properties of an exponential model. In addition, we were able to learn what a Newton’s Cooling Law is and how that is related to an exponential model. Works Cited "Other Differential Equations." University of British Columbia.

The temperature probe was kept in the calorimeter until the temperature had been stabilized and was calibrated. A beaker was placed on a hot plate with dial turned between three and four. Another 100.00 ml of deionized water was added while the beaker is heating up. Using the temperature probe, the beaker was measured

Kinetic theory states that molecules are always in constant motion. Kinetic energy and molecule velocity increases as temperature increases. Reactions require collisions between reactant molecules or atoms. In chemical reactions, the reactants change into products when molecule collide with enough energy to break old bonds to make new ones. Collisions increase or become more violent between molecules at higher temperatures or decrease as the temperature is lowered.
Is it possible to find the specific heat of a metal by experimenting and by using the SMΔT formula? Background Information: The experiment deals with finding the different factors in the formula SMΔT to find the specific heat of the metal, which is iron in this case. ΔH=SMΔT, which means that the change in heat equals the specific heat times the mass times the change in temperature. There are many new concepts that are necessary to know for this formula, such as specific heat, mass and how to find the change in temperature. To begin with specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1℃.
If the temperature was not correct that for the boiling water throughout the experiment than that would cause false data. We could have easily avoided this error by measuring the temperature of the water prior to starting the experiment. Second error that could

Much energy is being used from it. Most rooms in the store feel overly warm which means more heat energy is being used. Thermostat during fall season averages at 71 degrees Fahrenheit which is above the average for a building. The heating and cooling is at 24/7 use and typically uses more energy at weather gets much cooler or hotter. It uses a long duct system to transfer heating and cooling throughout the store.
