Question

A 505-g piece of copper tubing is heated to 99.9 degrees C and placed in an insulated vessel containing 59.8 g of water at 24.8 degrees C. Assuming no loss of water and a heat capacity for the vessel of 10.0 J/K, what is the final temperature of the system? (S of copper= 0.387J/g-K).

Answer 2

can you help me with this :D

Answer 3

when the hot piece of copper is added to the cold water, what MUST BE TRUE about the energy that moves between the two parts of the system?

Answer 4

IT SAYS THAT Assuming no loss of water and a heat capacity for the vessel

Answer 5

all that means is that no energy escapes the vessel. What about the energy that moves from the copper into the water?
