Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of aluminium =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g
= mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g
= final temperature of mixture = ?
= initial temperature of aluminum =
= initial temperature of water =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
