Moles of gold = mass/ molar mass of gold = 28 /196.97 = 0.1423736
Moles of iron = 29.6 /55.845 = 0.53
Heat lost by gold = Molar heat of gold x moles of gold x temp change
= 25.42 x 0.1423736 x ( 100-T)
= 3.61914 ( 100-T)
Heat lost by Iron = Molar heat of iron x moles of iron x temp change
= 25.19 x 0.53 x ( 100-T) = 13.3507 ( 100-T)
Heat gained by water = specific heat of water x mass of water x temp change
= ( 4.184 J/gK) x ( 880 g) x ( T-17.6) ( water has dnesity 1g/ml hence 880 ml =880g)
= 3681.92 ( T-17.6)
Now heta lost by iron + heta lost by gold = heta gained by water
13.3507 ( 100-T) + 3.61914( 100-T) = 3681.92 ( T-17.6)
1335.07 - 13.3507T + 361.914 -3.61914T = 3681.92 T - 64807.79
66504.774 =3699 T
T =18 C is the final temp
