A piece of copper steel (specific heat = 490 kg K) has a mass of 300 g. If is heated to
150°C, then plunged into 4.00 kg water (specific heat = 4180 kg at 20°C, what will
be the final temperature at equilibrium?

The Given Data were properly outline and the relation for the quantity of heated at equilibrium was used to compute the temperature as 18.84°C

Heat Capacity

Given Data

  • Mass of Copper m1 = 300g = 0.3kg
  • Specific heat of copper c1 = 490Kg K
  • Initial Temperature of Copper  T1= 150°C
  • Mass of water m2 = 4kg
  • Specific heat of water = 42180 Kg K
  • Initial Temperature of water  T1= 20°C

At equilibrium, the final temperature of the system T2 will be same for both copper and water

McΔT(copper) = McΔT(water)

0.3*490*(T2 - 150) = 4*4180*(T2-20)

147*(T2 - 150) =16720*(T2-20)

147T2 - 22050 = 16720T2 - 334400

collect like terms

147T2 -16720T2  = - 334400+22050

147T2 -16720T2  = - 334400+22050

-16573T2 = -312350

16573T2 = 312350

Divide both sides by 16573

T2 = 312350/16573

T2 = 18.84°C
