A chunk of tin weighing 18.5 grams and originally at 97.38 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 75.7 grams of water at 21.52 °C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, the final temperature of the water is ____

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final temperature of the water is 22.44°C.

Explanation:

Heat lost by tin will be equal to heat gained by the water

[tex]-q_1=q_2[/tex]

Mass of tin = [tex]m_1=18.5 g[/tex]

Specific heat capacity of tin = [tex]c_1=0.21 J/g^oC [/tex]

Initial temperature of the tin = [tex]T_1=97.38^oC[/tex]

Final temperature = [tex]T_2[/tex]=T

[tex]q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)[/tex]

Mass of water= [tex]m_2=75.7 g[/tex]

Specific heat capacity of water= [tex]c_2=4.184 J/g^oC [/tex]

Initial temperature of the water = [tex]T_3=21.52^oC[/tex]

Final temperature of water = [tex]T_2[/tex]=T

[tex]q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)[/tex]

[tex]-q_1=q_2[/tex]  (Law of Conservation of energy)

[tex]-(m_1\times c_1\times (T-T_1))=m_2\times c_2\times (T-T_3)[/tex]

On substituting all values:

[tex]-(18.5 g\times 0.21 J/g^oC\times (T-97.38^oC))=75.7 g\times 4.184 J/g^oC\times (T-21.52 ^oC)[/tex]

we get, T = 22.44°C

The final temperature of the water is 22.44°C.
