Answer:
The answer to your question is: Initial temperature of copper = 67.1°C
Explanation:
Data
mass Copper = 248 g
volume Water = 390 ml
T1 water = 22.6°C
T2 = 39.9°C
T1 copper = ?
Specific heat water = 1 cal/g°C
Specific heat copper = 0.092 cal/g°C
Formula copper water
Heat is negative for copper because it releases heat
- mCp(T2 - T1) = mCp(T2 - T1)
- (248)(39.9 - T1) = 390 (1)((39.9 - 22.6) Substitution
-9895.2 + 248T1 = 390(17.3) Simplification
-9895.2 + 248T1 = 6747
248 T1 = 6747 + 9895.2
248 T1 = 16642.2
T1 = 16642.2 / 248
T1 = 67.1 °C Result
Sanitize
Because Electrons have a negative charge
