Aplatinum ball with a mass of 100 g is removed from a furnace and dropped into 400 g of water at 0 ◦c. if the equilibrium temperature is 10◦c and the specific heat of platinum is 130 j/kg◦c, what was the temperature of the furnace?

1,298 °C was the temperature of the furnace.

Explanation:

Heat lost by platinum will be equal to heat gained by the water

Mass of platinum =

Specific heat capacity of platinum=

Initial temperature of the iron =

Final temperature = =T  = 10°C

Mass of water=

Specific heat capacity of water=

Initial temperature of the water =

Final temperature of water = =T  = 10°C

On substituting all values:

we get, = 1,298°C

1,298 °C was the temperature of the furnace.

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
