Homework Statement
The "steam" above a freshly made cup of instant coffee is really water vapor droplets condensing after evaporating from the hot coffee. What is the final temperature of 290 g of hot coffee initially at 90.0°C if 1.50 g evaporates from it? The coffee is in a Styrofoam cup, and so other methods of heat transfer can be neglected. Assume that coffee has the same physical properties as water.
Homework Equations
Q = mcΔT that's the only equation that i saw fit, but i don't know how to utilize it in this situation
The Attempt at a Solution
the answer is 87.2
i tried writing two heat equations like (290g)(Tf- 900C) = (1.50)(100)
but i don't know if that's right. please point me in the right direction
thanks
