Tongue touches a pipe . Calculate final temperature of the tongue. 500 g of aluminum. ambient temp is -5 degrees Celsius. tongue is 100 g. heat capacity is same as pure water. assume heat capacity of aluminum is 24 J/molK.

Question

Tongue touches a pipe .  Calculate final temperature of the tongue.  500 g of aluminum.  ambient temp is -5 degrees Celsius. tongue is 100 g.  heat capacity is same as pure water.  assume heat capacity of aluminum is 24 J/molK.

bobpursley · Answer

You have to assume there is no blood supply (adding heat) to the tongue. massAL*24J/molK*(Tf+5)=massT*Cwater(Tf-37)
