Questions and Answers

A 2 kg object at 80°C is dropped into 500 g of water at 20°C. If no heat is lost, what is the final temperature? (Specific heat of object = 0.5 J/g°C, specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C). Use: m1c1(Tf-T1) = m2c2(T2-Tf)

The final temperature can be found by solving the equation m1c1(Tf-T1) = m2c2(T2-Tf)
