Answer:
a. gold
: 755.7°C.
b. silver: 418.7°C.
Explanation:
<em>a. gold
:</em>
The amount of heat absorbed by gold = Q = m.c.ΔT.
where, m is the mass of Au (m = 25.0 g).
c is the specific heat capacity of Au = 0.129 J/g°C.
ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - 27.0°C).
Q = 2.35 kJ = 2350.0 J.
∴ The amount of heat absorbed by Au = Q = m.c.ΔT = 2350.0 J.
∴ 2350.0 J = (25.0 g)(0.129 J/g°C)(final T - 27.0°C).
∴ 2350.0 J = 3.225 final T - 87.08.
∴ 3.225 final T = 2350.0 + 87.08 = 2473.
<em>∴ final T = 2473/3.225 = 755.7°C.</em>

b. silver:
<em>The amount of heat absorbed by silver = Q = m.c.ΔT.</em>
<em></em>
where, m is the mass of Ag (m = 25.0 g).
c is the specific heat capacity of Ag = 0.24 J/g°C.
ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - 27.0°C).
Q = 2.35 kJ = 2350.0 J.
∴ The amount of heat absorbed by Ag = Q = m.c.ΔT = 2350.0 J.
∴ 2350.0 J = (25.0 g)(0.24 J/g°C)(final T - 27.0°C).
∴ 2350.0 J = 6.0 final T - 162.0.
∴ 6.0 final T = 2350.0 + 162.0 = 2512.
<em>∴ final T = 2512/6.0 = 418.7°C.</em>
