heat lost by Sn + heat gained by H2O = 0
[mass Sn x specific heat Sn x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
Substitute and solve for mass Sn. Post your work if you get stuck.
A piece of tin is heated to 695 °C and dropped into 158 g of water at 23.2 °C. The temperature of the system rises to 30.7 °C. What is the mass of the tin dropped into the water?
(C = 0.227 J/g°C for tin, C = 4.18 J/g°C for water)
