20kg * 4200Kg-1K-1 * (80-40) K = x * 4200JKg-1K-1 * (40-15) K
X = 3, 360, 000/25, 000 = 32kg.
3. 0.2kg of iron at 200C is dropped into 0.09kg of water at 260C inside a calorimeter of mass 0.15kg and s.h.c.
800JKg-1K-1. Find the final temperature of the water. Take the s.h.c. of iron = 460JKg-1K-1 and that of water
= 4200JKg-1K-1

(Solved)
70g of a solid initially at 25^oC was carefully dropped into water in a calorimeter at 60^oC. If the final
constant temperature of the water and the solid was 54^oC and the mass of water is 500g, determine the
specific heat capacity of the solid. Assume the heat absorbed by the calorimeter to be negligible. Take the s.h.c. of water = 4200JKg-1K-1.
