A sheet of gold weighing 10.0 g and at a temperature of 18.0C is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 20.0 g and at a temperature of 55.6 C.
What is the final temperature of the combined metals?
Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.
[ Hint: The heat gained by the gold must be equal to the heat lost by the iron. The specific heats of the metals are: Au(s) = 0.129 J/g-C; Fe(s) = 0.444 J/g-C ]
The ANSWER is 50.7 C.
However, I need to know how to work it out.... so please help. and thank u.
