Answer:
The final temperature of the system is 27.3°C.
Explanation:
Heat lost by aluminum = 3.99 × 0.91 × (100-T)
= 3.631 (100-T)
Heat gained by water = 10 × 4.184 × (T-21)
= 41.84 (T-21)
As,
Heat gained = Heat loss
or, 3.631(100-T) = 41.84(T-21)
or,363.1 - 3.631 T = 41.84 T - 878.64)
or, (41.84+ 3.631) T = 878.64 +363.1
or T=
or, T = 27.3°C
Hence the final temperature is 27.3°C.
