You place a stainless steel spoon that has a mass of 41.56 g into the coffee until the coffee and spoon are at thermal equilibrium. You record that the temperature of the spoon increases by 16.09 °C. What is the final temperature °C at thermal equilibrium of the coffee and spoon, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings? Assume the specific heat and density of coffee to be the same as water. The specific heat of the spoon is 0.466 J/g·°C. Report your answer normallly to one decimal place and do not include units.arrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solutionarrow_forward
- A chemist burned a sample of coal in a bomb calorimeter. Her results are below. Calorimeter's Heat Capacity 7.264 kJ/°C Mass of Coal Initial Temperature Final Temperature 0.100 g 22.07°C 25.37°C The sample of coal that the chemist placed in the bomb was dry but when she finished the test there was a small amount of water in the bomb. Where did this water come from and how does it affect her result? The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for a closed system. The water was a product of combustion so her measured heat of combustion is for an open system. The water came from the water surrounding the bomb so her measured heat of combustion is for an open system.
