0.120 kg of steel pellets s = 449 J/ kg K are heated in a boiling water bath. The pellets are then added to a Styrofoam cup that contains 0.080 kg of water w = 4190 J/ kg K at room temperature 20 C . Assuming that heat is only transferred between the pellets and the water, determine the final temperature of the water in C. No phase changes occur.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the final temperature of the water we can use the principle of conservation of energy which ... View the full answer
