1. 0.1 kg of an unknown metal at 94 °C is placed in 100 grams of water at 10 °C. Find

the final temp of the mixture. cwater = 4200 J/kg°C, cmetal is 381= J/kg°C

2. A piece of copper at 85 °C is added to 0.25 kg of water at 15 °C inside an aluminium

calorimeter that has a mass of 0.1 kg. The final temperature of the copper and water
28°C What is the mass of the copper piece? Ccopper = 390 J/kg°C

3. 5 Kg of water at 100 °C is mixed with 8 Kg of water at 20 °C. What is the final

temperature of the mixture? Cwater = 4200 J/kg°C

4. 0.5 at 0°C is added to 1.0 kg of water at 55 °C. What is the final temperature, assuming no
heat exchange with the surroundings? Take the specific heat capacity of water to be 4200 J
kg-1 °C -1, the specific heat capacity of ice Cice = 2100 J/kg°C and the specific latent heat of
fusion of ice to be 3.4 × 105 J kg-1.

5. A copper cup holds some cold water at 10°C. The copper cup weighs 140g while the water
weighs 40g. If 150g of hot water, at 100°C is added, what will be the final temperature of the
water? Cwater = 4200 J kg-1 °C -1
