Answer: Final temperature = 206∘C
Explanation:
Heat Energy is given as
q= mCΔT
ehere
q= Heat energy = 87.4J
m= mass=1.25g
C=specific heat c= 0.386Jg∘C) ,
ΔT = Change in temperate of which the final temperature= 25.0∘C
q= mCΔT
ΔT = q/mC
ΔT = 87.4/ 1.25 X 0.386=181.14∘C
But,
T final- T initial = ΔT
T final = T initial + ΔT
T final = 25.0∘C +181.14∘C=206.14∘C rounded to 206∘C
