Answer: 90.04°C
Explanation: <u>Calorimeter</u> is a device measures the amount of heat of a chemical or physical process. An ideal calorimeter is one that is well-insulated, i.e., prevent the transfer of heat between the calorimeter and its surroundings. So, the net heat change inside the calorimeter is zero:
Rearraging, it can be written as
showing that the heat gained by Substance 1 is equal to the energy lost by Substance 2.
In our case, water is gaining heat, because its temperature has risen and so, brass is losing energy:
Calculating:
Note: final temperature is the same as the substances are in thermal equilibrium.
Solving:
418(3.4)= - 365.01 + 19.8375T
19.8375T = 1786.21
T = 90.04
The initial temperature for the sample of brass was 90.04°.
