Question

Suppose that 100g of aluminum at 23 degrees C is added to 50g of water at 95 degrees C. Determine the equilibrium temperature of the mixture. Ignore heat loss to the container or the surroundings.

Answer 1

This looks like a \(Q=mc\Delta T\) situation.
Q is the same for both (in magnitude anyway, one is gaining while the other loses)
m and c for both substances are known, so there are two equations to solve for each materials dT.

Answer 2

heat capacities of both the substances be given in such situations

Answer 3

First Write The Balance Reaction
