Answer:
Final temperature = T₂ = 155.43 °C
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
Given data:
Mass of coin = 4.50 g
Heat absorbed = 54 cal
Initial temperature = 25 °C
Specific heat of copper = 0.092 cal/g °C
Final temperature = ?
Solution:
Q = m.c. ΔT
ΔT = T₂ -T₁
Q = m.c. T₂ -T₁
54 cal = 4.50 g × 0.092 cal/g °C × T₂ -25 °C
54 cal = 0.414 cal/ °C × T₂ -25 °C
54 cal /0.414 cal/ °C = T₂ -25 °C
130.43 °C = T₂ -25 °C
130.43 °C + 25 °C = T₂
155.43 °C = T₂
