A 10 g object at 50oC is placed in 100 g water at 39.8oC in a calorimeter. The temperature of the water and the object equilibrated at 40.0oC. Identify the metal.
Please explain this. Thanks!
heat lose of metal = heat gain of water
mct = mct
10*c*(50-40) = 100*4.184*(40-39.8)
c = 0.84J/g-c0
metal specific heat = 0.84J/g-c0 . It is aluminium metal
