What mass of copper at 87.0oC, when added to 300 g of water at 17.0oC, would yield a final temperature of 26.0oC?

Step 1
In this problem, we are dealing with the transfer of heat from a hot object (copper) to a cooler one (water) until they reach thermal equilibrium. The heat lost by the copper will be equal to the heat gained by the water. Show more…

When a piece of copper at a temperature of 25°C is added to 255g of water at a temperature of 20.0°C, the final temperature of the resulting mixture is 24.0°C. If the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g-K, what is the mass of the copper?

A $70.0-\mathrm{g}$ piece of copper metal at $54.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is placed in $50.0 \mathrm{~g}$ of water at $26.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the final temperature of the water and metal is $29.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ what is the specific heat $\left(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$ of copper? (3.6)
