A silver block, initially at 56.5∘C
, is submerged into 100.0 g
of water at 24.8∘C
in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture upon reaching thermal equilibrium is 26.7∘C
. The specific heat capacities for water and silver are Cs,water=4.18J/(g⋅∘C)
and Cs,silver=0.235J/(g⋅∘C)
.
What is the mass of the silver block?
