If 53.2 g Al at 120.0 ºC is placed in 110.0 g H2O at 90 ºC within an insulated container that absorbs a negligible amount of heat, what is the final temperature of the aluminum? The specific heat capacities of water and aluminum are 4.184 J/g ∙ ºC and 0.897 J/g ∙ ºC, respectively.
Suppose a 50.0 g block of silver (specific heat = 0.2350 J/g∙°C) at 100°C is placed in contact with a 50.0 g block of iron (specific heat = 0.4494 J/g∙°C) at 0°C, and the two blocks are insulated from the rest of the universe. the final temperature of the two blocks
