A 31.4 g iron rod, initially at 22.3 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.6 ∘C, in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture upon reaching thermal equilibrium is 60.0 ∘C. What is the mass of the water?

Answer #1

m(iron) = 31.4 g

T(iron) = 22.3 oC

C(iron) = 0.45 J/goC

m(water) = to be calculated

C(water) = 4.184 J/goC

T = 60.0 oC

We will be using heat conservation equation

use:

heat lost by water = heat gained by iron

m(water)*C(water)*(T(water)-T) = m(iron)*C(iron)*(T-T(iron))

m(water)*4.184*(63.6-60.0) = 31.4*0.45*(60.0-22.3)

m(water)*15.0624 = 532.701

m(water)= 35.3663 g

Answer: 35.4 g
