The specific heat of iron is 0.11 cal/g °C. Assuming that no heat is lost during the experiment, what will be the final temperature if 30.0 grams of iron at 95°C are added to 100.0 grams of water at 25°C?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given ,

Specific heat of iron ( s1 ) = 0.11 cal/g °C

Mass of iron ( m1 ) = 30.0 g

Initial temperature of iron ( T1 ) = 95°C

Mass of water ( m2 ) = 100.0 g

Initial temperature of water ( T2 ) = 25°C

Specific heat of water ( s2 ) = 1.0 cal/g °C

Let the final temperature is Tf
