What is the final temperature of a system if 18.00 g of gold at 90.0°C is placed in 18.00 g of water at 26.00°C? The molar heat capacity of gold is 25.41

J/(mol • °C) and the heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g. °C).

Given,

Molar heat capacity of gold is 25.41 J/(mol • °C)

Heat capacity of water is: 4.18 J/g. °C)

use the capacities to calculate the resultant temperature of the system using the mass of 18 grams of gold alongside 18 grams of water.

Hope This Helped!
