The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅C∘J, for aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅C∘, and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘.

What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 225 g block of copper at 235 ∘C is placed in a 135 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 825 g of water at 15.0 ∘C?

Part A
The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg · C° , for
aluminun is 900 J/kg· C°, and for water is 4186 J/kg · C°.
What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 225 g block of copper at 235 °C is placed in a 135 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 825 g of water
at 15.0 °C?
