So basing on my understanding of this so far, an atom is an element that has the same number of protons and neutrons, an ion is an element that has different numbers of protons and electrons, an ion is positive when it has more protons than electrons and negative when it has more electrons than ions .

1.2 kg of aluminum at 20oC is added to 1.5 kg of water at 80oC. After the system reaches thermal equilibrium, what is its final

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The final temperature is 71.19 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of aluminium = 1.2 kg = 1200 grams

Temperature of aluminium = 20.0 °C

Specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

Mass of water = 1.5 kg = 1500 grams

Temperature of water = 80.0 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature

heat gained = heat lost

Q(aluminium) = - Q(water)

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(aluminium) * c(aluminium) * ΔT(aluminium) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ with mass of aluminium = 1200 grams

⇒ with specific heat of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = T2 - 20.0 °C

⇒ with mass of water = 1500 grams

⇒ with specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = T2 - 80.0°C

1200 * 0.900 * (T2-20.0°C) = -1500 * 4.184 * (T2 - 80.0°C)

1080 * (T2 - 20.0°C) = -6276 * (T2 - 80.0°C)

1080 T2 - 21600 = -6276T2 + 502080

7356T2 = 523680

T2 = 71.19 °C

The final temperature is 71.19 °C
