Answer:
39.6138 °C
Explanation:
Heat gain by water = Heat lost by nickel
Thus,
Where, negative sign signifies heat loss
Or,
For water:
Volume = 100.0 mL
Density of water= 1 g/mL
So, mass of the water:
Mass of water = 100 g
Initial temperature = 22.0 °C
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C
For nickel:
Mass = 275 g
Initial temperature = 100 °C
Specific heat of nickel = 0.444 J/gK = 0.444 J/g°C
So,
Thus,
The final temperature of the combined metals is 39.6138 °C
