Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Temperature, Heat, and the First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 94
A thermometer of mass 0.0550 kg and of specific heat 0.837 kJ/kg · K reads 15.0°C. It is then completely immersed in 0.300 kg of water, and it comes to the same final temperature as the water. If the thermometer then reads 44.4°C, what was the temperature of the water before insertion of the thermometer?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 0.0550 kg, 0.837 kJ, 15.0°C, 0.300 kg, 44.4°C
