Answer to Question #234450 in General Chemistry for Earl

Question

A 30.14-g stainless steel ball bearing at 117.82°C is

placed in a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 120.0

mL of water at 18.44°C. If the specific heat of the ball

bearing is 0.474 J/gC°, calculate the final temperature of

the water. Assume the calorimeter to have negligible heat

capacity.

Answer 1

Final temperature =21.19°C
