Question

A 266.0 g piece of granite, heated to 631.0°c in a campfire, is dropped into 1.05 l water (d = 1.00 g/ml) at 25.0°c. the molar heat capacity of water is cp,water = 75.3 j/(mol ·°c), and the specific heat of granite is cs,granite = 0.790 j/(g ·°c).

Answer 1

The question explores the concept of heat transfer between a piece of hot granite and a body of water, requiring calculations based on specific heat values and conservation of energy principles in physics.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking a question related to the transfer of heat between granite and water, a common topic in high school level physics. Specifically, the question involves calculating the final temperature of water after a hot piece of granite is dropped into it. The specific heat of granite and water are provided, as well as their initial temperatures and masses (or volumes, in the case of water which has a given density).
