Question

a 100g sample of a metal was heated yo 100 degrees celsius and dropped into 100g of water at a temperature 22 degrees celsius in an insulated container. as a result the temp of the water increases to 35 degrees celsius. Does the metal release more heat then the water absorbs, less heat, or the same amount of heat

Answer 1

q = 100g·13°C·4.184J/g·°C = 5439.2 J

Water absorbs 5439.2 J. Metal loses 5439.2 J.
