A 2.77 g lead weight, initially at 11.1 oC, is submerged in 7.94 g of water at 52.8 oC in an insulated container. clead = 0.128 J/goC; cwater = 4.18 J/goC. What is the final temperature of both the weight and the water at thermal equilibrium?

52.36 ºC

Explanation:

By the law of the conservation of energy, the heat lost by the water must equal the heat gained by lead.

q H₂O = q Pb

Now q is given by m x c x ΔT

where m is the mass, c the specific heat, and ΔT the change in temperature.

So plugging our values in the eaquation above:

q H₂O = q Pb

7.94 g x 4.18 J/gºC x (  52.8 ºC- T₂) = 2.77 g x 0.128 J/gºC x ( T₂ - 11.1 ºC )

1752.390 - 33.189 T₂  = 0.355 T₂ - 3.936

33.544 T₂ = 1756.326

T₂ = 52.36 ºC

Notice that the change in temperature for water is very small, a reflection of the very large specific heat  of water.

- "the choice that is not an indicator of a chemical change is "state of matter changes". more common than not, chemical reactions produce energy in the form of light or heat. along with energy, they also produce a new substance called the product that could be in any state of matter (solid, gas, or liquid)."
