I get a considerably higher number. Please post the details of your working.ayans2495 said:
I simply inputted the values provided into the equation I derived and solved for TiI. The sign convention of Q3 I believe is negative as if I were to make it positive I would end up with a negative result.haruspex said:
Yes, but I did the same and get a rather different number, so one of us has an error. Please post the equation with all the numbers filled in.ayans2495 said:
Perhaps I didn't round to the correct significant figures. When you asked whether or not I measured these correctly, the scale I used to measure these masses gave them in 4 to 5 s.f, but the thermometer in 3.May you please show me what values should be? I just posted my solution below.haruspex said:
Where does the 9.9866 figure come from? You gave the water mass as 200.562g.ayans2495 said:

Ok, that gets us close enough together.ayans2495 said:
Great! Thank you so much for your help again!haruspex said:
To calculate the initial temperature of an iron block submerged into water, you will need to use the specific heat capacity of iron and water, the mass of the iron block, and the change in temperature of the water. The formula for this calculation is:
Initial temperature of iron block = Final temperature of water - (Change in temperature of water * Specific heat capacity of water / Specific heat capacity of iron * Mass of iron block)
The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.45 J/g°C and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C. These values are necessary for the calculation of the initial temperature of an iron block submerged into water.
The mass of the iron block is an important factor in the calculation of the initial temperature because it determines the amount of heat that is transferred from the iron block to the water. A larger mass of iron block will result in a larger change in temperature of the water, and therefore a lower initial temperature of the iron block.
Other factors that may affect the accuracy of the initial temperature calculation include the initial temperature of the water, the shape and size of the iron block, and the rate of heat transfer between the iron block and the water. It is important to control these factors as much as possible to obtain an accurate calculation.
Yes, this calculation can be used for other materials as long as their specific heat capacities are known. However, the specific heat capacity of different materials may vary and can affect the accuracy of the calculation. It is important to use the correct values for the specific heat capacities of the materials involved.
