A block of copper of unknown mass has an initial temperature of 69.1 ∘C . The copper is immersed in a beaker containing 93.4 g of water at 21.0 ∘C . When the two substances reach thermal equilibrium, the final temperature is 24.2 ∘C . Find mass of Copper

1 answer

heat lost by Cu + heat gained by H2O = 0

[mass Cu x specific heat Cu x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
