Question

A chemist mixes 500 g of lead at 500°c with 1,200 g of water at 20°c. she then mixes 500 g of copper at 500°c with 1,200 g of water at 20°c. the specific heat capacity of lead is 0.1276 j/g°c and the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.3845 j/g°c. what will be true about the final temperatures of the two systems?

Answer 1

The final temperature of the lead-water system will be lower than the final temperature of the copper-water system.
