2) In a calorimetry experiment, 70.0 g of a substance was heated to
270.00 degrees Celsius and then placed in 3500.0 g of water. The water
bath's starting temperature was 15.00 degrees Celsius. If the substance's
listed specific heat is 0.890 J/gC, predict the temperature at thermal
equilibrium. *

Respuesta :

The temperature at thermal  equilibrium : 16.1 °C

Further explanation

Q absorbed = Q released

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m.c.Δt

c= specific heat, J/g°C

Δt = temperature different, C°

m= mass, g

Q water=Q substance
