Suppose a 50.0 g block of silver (specific heat = 0.2350 J/g·°C) at 100.°C is placed in contact with a 50.0 g block of iron (specific heat = 0.4494 J/g·°C) at 0.00°C, and the two blocks are insulated from the rest of the universe. The final temperature of the two blocks will be:

34.34 °C

Explanation:

From the question,

Heat lost by the silver block = heat gained by the iron block.

cm(x-y) = c'm'(y-z) Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of the silver block, m = mass of the silver block, c' = specific heat capacity of the iron, m' = mass of the iron. x = initial temperature of the silver block, z = initial temperature of the iron,  y = final temperature of the mixture.

make y the subject of the equation

y = (cmx+c'm'z)/(cm+c'm') Equation 2

Given: c = 50 g, c = 0.2350 J/g·°C, x = 100°C, m' = 50 g, c' = 0.4494 J/g.°C, z = 0°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

y = [(50×0.2350×100)+(50×0.4494×0)]/[(50×0.2350)+(50+0.4494)]

y = 1175/(11.75+22.47)

y = 1175/34.22

y = 34.34 °C
