we submerge a 32.5 g wafer of pure gold intially at 69.3 degrees C and a 27.5 g ingot of pure silver at 72.4 degrees C into 1.00 kg of water at 27.8 degrees C in an insulated container. Determine the final temperature in degrees celcius of all the substances at thermal equilibrium.

Answer #1

We have:

Specific heat capacity of water, Cw = 4.184 J/g.oC

Specific heat capacity of gold, Cg = 0.129 J/g.K

Specific heat capacity of silver, Cs = 0.233 J/g.K

Let T be the final temperature of the system.

We have, Heat lost by gold + heat lost by silver = heat gained by water.

Mathematically:

Substituting given values:

(let's ignore all units for now to solve for T):
