The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅C∘, for
aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅C∘,and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.
What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 275 g block of
copper at 255 ∘C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter cup
containing 815 g of water at 16.0 ∘C?
using equation
mf Cf Tf = mi Ci Ti where i = 1 , 2 , 3............
( 0.275 X 390 + 0.155 X 900 + 0.815 X 4186 ) Tf = ( 0.275 X 390 X 255 + 0.155 X 900 X 16 + 0.815 X 4186 X 16 )
Tf = ( 0.275 X 390 X 255 + 0.155 X 900 X 16 + 0.815 X 4186 X 16 ) / ( 0.275 X 390 + 0.155 X 900 + 0.815 X 4186 )
Tf = ( 0.275 X 390 X 255 + 0.155 X 900 X 16 + 0.815 X 4186 X 16 ) / ( 0.275 X 390 + 0.155 X 900 + 0.815 X 4186 )
Tf = 23.0066oC
the equilibrium temperature is Tf = 23.0066oC
