m(water) = 300.0 g
T(water) = 22.0 oC
C(water) = 4.184 J/goC
m(polystyrene) = to be calculated
C(polystyrene) = 1.88 J/goC
T = 27.7 oC
We will be using heat conservation equation
use:
heat lost by polystyrene = heat gained by water
m(polystyrene)*C(polystyrene)*(T(polystyrene)-T) = m(water)*C(water)*(T-T(water))
m(polystyrene)*1.88*(94.9-27.7) = 300.0*4.184*(27.7-22.0)
m(polystyrene)*126.336 = 7154.64
m(polystyrene)= 56.6 g
Answer: 57 g
