Chapter 5.4, Problem 1PPB

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The final temperature of water is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The specific heat of a material can be referred to as the quantity of heat used to raise the temperature by $1°\text{C}$ for $1\text{ g}$ material.

The heat related with change in temperature of a material can be determined as:

$q=sm\Delta T$

Here q is heat, s is specific heat, m is mass, and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature of the material.

The change in temperature of the material can be determined as:

$\Delta T=T_{\text{final}}-T_{\text{initial}}$

Here, $\Delta T$ is change in temperature, $T_{\text{final}}$

is the final temperature and $T_{\text{initial}}$ is the initial temperature.
