Chapter 3, Problem 92E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given mass of aluminum, initial temperature and heat lost by an aluminum sample, the final temperature is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The relationship between heat and change in temperature used to determine the amount of heat lost is

$q=mC\Delta T$

Here, $q$ is the amount of heat lost, $m$ is mass of the substance, $C$ is heat capacity of the substance, and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature.
