Question:

Physics Help, Thermal Equilibrium?

A Ceramic cup with a mass of 20g and specific heat capacity c900J/(kgK) that is initially at 20 degrees Celsius is filled with 300g of coffee that is initially 70 degrees CelsiusWhat is the final temperature after the coffee and cup attain thermal equilibrium? (assume that the coffee has the same specific heat capacity as water c4190J(kgK) and there is no heat exchange with surroundings.)Explain Steps Used Please.

Answer:

lots of greeens and fatty foods stay away from bananas!!
heat loss from coffee heat gain to cup 300g 4190J/kg·?C (70?C - T) 20g 900J/kg·?C (T - 20?C) This solves to T 69?C If you find this helpful, please award Best AnswerYou get points too!
