The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/gºC. A 95.0 g block of
copper is heated to 77.9°C and placed into a calorimeter that
a
contains 42.0 mL of water at 20.4°C. Assuming no heat loss,
what will be the final temperature of the copper and water?

The final temperature of the copper and water in the calorimeter given the data is 30.3 °C

Data obtained from the question

  • Specific heat capacity of copper (C꜀) = 0.385 J/gºC
  • Mass of copper (M꜀) = 95 g
  • Temperature of copper (T꜀) = 77.9 °C
  • Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 42 mL = 1 × 42 = 42 g
  • Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 20.4 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
  • Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) =?

How to determine the equilibrium temperature

Heat loss = Heat gain

MᵥᵥC(Tᵥᵥ – Tₑ) = M꜀C(Tₑ – M꜀)

95 × 0.385 (77.9 – Tₑ) = 42 × 4.184(Tₑ – 20.4)

36.575(77.9 – Tₑ) = 175.728(Tₑ – 20.4)

Clear bracket

2849.1925 – 36.575Tₑ = 175.728Tₑ – 3584.8512

Collect like terms

2849.1925 + 3584.8512 = 175.728Tₑ + 36.575Tₑ

6434.0437 = 212.303Tₑ

Divide both side by 212.303

Tₑ = 6434.0437 / 212.303

Tₑ = 30.3 °C
