Two pieces of copper with equal mass are placed in a
well-insulated container of negligible heat
capacity and allowed to come to equilibrium. If one of the pieces
had an initial temperature of
144 °C and the other’s initial temperature was 72.0°C, what will
the final temperature in the
container be? (cCu(s) = 0.385 J⁄g ∙ K) State any assumptions needed
to solve the problem.
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat energy (Joules, J), m = mass of a substance (g)
c = specific heat (units J/g∙oC), ∆ is a symbol meaning "the change in"
∆T = change in temperature (oC Celcius)
Let us take each 1 gm copper
specific heat capacity of copper = 0.385 J⁄g ∙ K
∆T = Tf- Ti
Tf = final temperature Ti = initial temperature
Heat gained by low temperature copper = Heat lost by high temperature copper
1 x 0.385 X (144 - Tf) = 1 x 0.385 x (Tf -72)
144 + 72 = 2 Tf
Tf = 108oC
Hence the final temperature in the container will be 108oC
