physics

When a 290 g piece of iron at 174°C is placed in a 100 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 250 g of glycerin at 4°C, the final temperature is observed to be 32°C. What is the specific heat of glycerin?

Answer 1

...this is the Mathematics section!! Post the Question in the Physics section :)

You'll need to use:

Q = \[\sum_{}^{}Q = \sum_{}^{}m c \Delta T\]

Where Q = energy in Joules
m = Mass
c = specific heat capacity
\[ \Delta T\ = change \ in \ temperature\]
