Question

A silver block, initially at 58.6 ∘C, is submerged into 100.0 g of water at 25.1 ∘C, in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture upon reaching thermal equilibrium is 27.3 ∘C.

What is the mass of the silver block?

I got 122.53g is it wrong?

Answer 1

To solve this question we will use two additional values of Specific heat capacity of Water and Silver

Specific heat capacity of Water = 4.184 J/g degree celsius

Specific heat capacity of Silver = 0.240 J/g degree celsius

Here is the Solution:
