A 20-gram piece of beryllium at 80.0 °C is dropped into 100 mL of water at 20.0 °C. Assume that the only heat transferred is between the Be and water. After the metal and water reach the same temperature, what is the final temperature of each? (hint: q=mCsΔT) Water: Cs = 4.2 J/gºC Density= 1 g/mL. Be: Cs=1.8 J/gºC Density= 1.9 g/cm3

A 20-gram piece of beryllium at 80.0 °C is dropped into 100 mL of water at 20.0 °C. Assume that the only heat transferred is between the Be and water. After the metal and water reach the same temperature, what is the final temperature of each? (hint: q=mCsΔT)

Water: Cs = 4.2 J/gºC

Density= 1 g/mL.

Be: Cs=1.8 J/gºC

Density= 1.9 g/cm3

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Mass of beryllium piece       = 20 g

Initial temperature of Be      = 80.0 oC

Volume of water                   = 100 mL

Initial temperature of water = 20.0 oC

Density of water                   = 1 g/mL
