A sample of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.449 Jg^-1℃^-1, is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 100.0 g of water. The iron sample starts off at container 93.3 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 25.7 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Required:
Calculate the mass of the iron sample. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the interaction between hot iron and cold water allows the heat transfer from iron to water and therefore we can write up the following energetic equation:

Whereas the heat terms can be written in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change:

So we solve for the mass of iron as follows:

Now, we plug in the given data to obtain:

hop this let me know if it is wrong

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
