An insultaed container holds 40.30g of water at 23.10 celcius.Sample of copper weighing 7.50g is placed in a dry test tube and heated for 30 min in boiling water at 100.10 celsius. given specific heat of copper is .385 , calculate max temp of water in container after copper metal is added.
The heat released by copper = heat gained by water
mcdt = m'c'dt'
Let t be the common temperature
Where
m = mass of copper = 7.50 g
c = specific heat of copper = 0.385J/(goC)
dt = change in temperature of copper = 100.10 - t
m' = mass of water = 40.30 g
c' = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/(goC)
dt' = change in temperature = t - 23.10
Plug the values we get
7.50x0.385 x ( 100.10-t) = 40.30x4.186x(t-23.10)
289.0 - 2.887t = 168.7t - 3896.9
t = 24.4 oC
Therefore the max temp of water in container after copper metal is added is 24.4 oC
