Question

A 20.0 g piece of iron and a 20.0 g piece of gold at 100.0? C were dropped into 1.0 L of water at 20.0? C. The molar heat capacitates of iron and gold are 24.19 J/ (mol ? ?C) and 25.41 / (mol ? ?C), respectively. What is the final temperature of the water and pieces of metal?

A 20.0 g piece of iron and a 20.0 g piece of gold at 100.0? C were dropped into 1.0 L of water at 20.0? C. The molar heat capacitates of iron and gold are 24.19 J/ (mol ? ?C) and 25.41 / (mol ? ?C), respectively. What is the final temperature of the water and pieces of metal?

Explanation / Answer


Let T be the final temperature

Heat lost by metals = heat gained by water


Moles x molar heat capacity x temperature change of iron

+ moles x molar heat capacity x temperature change of gold

= mass x specific heat x temperature change of water


20/55.845 x 24.19 x (100 - T) + 20/196.97 x 25.41 x (100 - T)

= 1000 x 4.184 x (T - 20.0)


1124.335 - 11.243T = 4184T - 83680

4195.243T = 84804.335

Final temperature T = 20.21 deg C = 20.2 deg C
