A 600-G Piece of Iron at 100°C Is Dropped into a Calorimeter

question 40

Short Answer

A 600-g piece of iron at 100°C is dropped into a calorimeter of negligible heat capacity containing 100 g of ice at 0°C and 120 g of water, also at 0°C. What is the final temperature of the system? The specific heat of iron is 448 J/kg ∙ K, the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 × 10⁴ J/kg, and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.
