Calculate the final temperature of the system: A 50.0 gram sample of water initially at 100 °C and a 100 gram sample initially at 1.28 °C are mixed. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gC). Record your answer in scientific notation using 3 significant figures.

Step 1
First, we need to find the total heat energy of both samples of water. Heat energy (Q) = mass (m) × specific heat (c) × change in temperature (ΔT) Show more…

A 25.00 gram sample of an unknown metal initially at 99.0 degrees Celcius is added to 50.00 grams of water initially at 9.47 degrees Celcius. The final temperature of the system is 20.15 degrees Celcius. Calculate the specific heat of the metal. (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*C). Record your answer in scientific notation using three significant figures.
