A 226 g sample of brass at 105◦C is placed in

a calorimeter cup that contains 283 g of water
at 29◦C.
If you disregard the absorption of heat
by the cup, what will be the final temperature? Assume the specific heat of brass is 376 J/kg ·◦ C, and the specific heat of water is 4180 J/kg ·◦ C.
Answer in units of ◦C.

1 answer

heat lost by brass is gained by water

226 * 376 * (105 - t) = 283 * 4180 * (t - 29)

solve for t
