Answer:

349.22°C

Explanation:

Let the final temperature of the two pieces of metal be x.

Now, the warmer metal which is C u reduces from 475°C to x. Thus Δt for C u is; Δt1 = 475 - x.

The cooler metal Cr increases in temperature from 265°C to x. Thus, it's change in temperature is Δt for Cr is; Δt2 = x - 265.

Now from conservation of energy, the amount of energy leaving the C u metal is equal to the amount of energy entering the Cr metal.

Thus;

q_lost = q_gain

Where;

q_lost = m1•c1•Δt1

q_gained = m2•c2•Δt2

Now, c1 & c2 are the specific heat capacity of C u and Cr respectively.

From online tables, c1 = 0.385 J/g°C and c2 = 0.46 J/g°C

We are given;

m1 = 12g and m2 = 15g

Thus;

12 × 0.385 × (475 - x) = 15 × 0.46 × (x - 265)

2194.5 - 4.62x = 6.9x - 1828.5

6.9x + 4.62x = 2194.5 + 1828.5

11.52x = 4023

x = 4023/11.52

x = 349.22°C

Gamma radiation is electromagnetic energy<br> True or false
AfilCa [17]

Hey there! :D

This is a true statement. Gamma radiation comes from electromagnetic energy from radioactive decay. This decay has the shortest electromagnetic wave lengths and therefore has the highest photon energy. It is extremely dangerous. Radiation in general is something to be cautious of!

I hope this helps!
