1 Determine the specific heat of the metal.
If 85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC, the final temperature of the mixture is 30.9 oC. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•oC.) Determine the specific heat of the metal. Remember: calories gained by water = calories lost by metal

2 Determine the specific heat of the metal.
If 85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC, the final temperature of the mixture is 30.9 oC. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•K.) Determine the specific heat of the metal. calories gained by water = calories lost by metal 100.0 g 5.9 K H2O: 590 = cal Can we use  oC for  K?

3 Determine the specific heat of the metal.
If 85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC, the final temperature of the mixture is 30.9 oC. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•K.) Determine the specific heat of the metal. calories gained by water = calories lost by metal 100.0 g 5.9 K H2O: 590 = cal Now for the metal.

4 Determine the specific heat of the metal.
If 85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC, the final temperature of the mixture is 30.9 oC. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•K.) Determine the specific heat of the metal. calories gained by water = calories lost by metal 100.0 g 5.9 K H2O: 590 = cal Sp.Ht. Metal 590 cal 0.117 85.0 g 59.1 oC

5 85. 0 g of a metal at 90. 0 oC is added to 100. 0 g of water at 25
85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC. Determine the final temperature of the mixture. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•K and the specific heat of the metal is cal/g•K. ) calories gained by water = calories lost by metal 100.0 g (TF – TI) K 85.0 g (TI – TF)K = T must be positive

6 Insert the TI Values and Solve for TF
85.0 g of a metal at 90.0 oC is added to g of water at 25.0 oC. Determine the final temperature of the mixture. (The specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/g•K and the specific heat of the metal is cal/g•K. ) calories gained by water = calories lost by metal 100.0 g (TF – TI) K 85.0 g (TI – TF)K = T must be positive Insert the TI Values and Solve for TF TF = 30.0 oC
