The heat will flow from copper to aluminum because Cu is at higher temperature. The heat liberated is -7.60kJ
When two metals at different temperatures are kept in contact, heat flows from hotter metal to colder metal until thermal equilibrium is reached.
Here Copper is at a temperature of 60 degree Celsius and aluminum is at 40 degree Celsius. Thus, heat will flow from Cu to Al.
In order to calculate the amount of heat liberated following calculations are required.
m1=262 g
T1=87 oC
Cp=0.385 J/g oC
T2=11.8 oC
The heat liberated can be expressed as follows:
Q=mCp(T2-T1)
Q=262 g*0.385 J/goC(11.8-87)oC
Q=-7585 J
=-7.60kJ
