Final answer:
Heat will flow from the copper rivet to the iron rivet. To correct any measurements in an actual experiment, the specific heat capacities of the rivets need to be known. The maximum final temperature of the system can be calculated using the principle of heat transfer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the direction of heat flow between the iron and copper rivets, we compare their initial temperatures. The iron rivet has an initial temperature of 0.0°C while the copper rivet has an initial temperature of 100.0°C. Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature, so heat will flow from the copper rivet to the iron rivet.
To correct any measurements in an actual experiment, we would need to know the specific heat capacities (c) for the iron and copper rivets. The provided data only gives the masses and initial temperatures of the rivets, but not their specific heat capacities. This additional information is necessary to accurately calculate the heat transfer and final temperature of the system.
The maximum final temperature of the system can be determined using the principle of heat transfer. The heat transferred from the copper rivet to the iron rivet can be calculated using the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Since the heat transferred from the copper to the iron is equal to the heat gained by the iron, we can set up the equation Q(copper) = Q(iron). By rearranging the equation and solving for the final temperature, we can find the maximum final temperature of the system.
