The correct Answer is:
To find the equilibrium temperature of the mixture containing an aluminum vessel, water, and an iron block, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of aluminum vessel, \( m_{Al} = 0.5 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of water, \( m_{water} = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of iron block, \( m_{Fe} = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) - Initial temperature of water and aluminum, \( T_{initial} = 20^\circ C = 293 \, \text{K} \) - Initial temperature of iron, \( T_{Fe} = 100^\circ C = 373 \, \text{K} \) - Specific heat capacity of aluminum, \( c_{Al} = 910 \, \text{J/kg K} \) - Specific heat capacity of iron, \( c_{Fe} = 470 \, \text{J/kg K} \) - Specific heat capacity of water, \( c_{water} = 4200 \, \text{J/kg K} \) ### Step 2: Set up the heat transfer equations The heat lost by the iron block will be equal to the heat gained by the water and the aluminum vessel at equilibrium. 1. **Heat lost by iron**: \[ Q_{Fe} = m_{Fe} \cdot c_{Fe} \cdot (T_{Fe} - T) \] \[ Q_{Fe} = 0.2 \cdot 470 \cdot (373 - T) \] 2. **Heat gained by water**: \[ Q_{water} = m_{water} \cdot c_{water} \cdot (T - T_{initial}) \] \[ Q_{water} = 0.2 \cdot 4200 \cdot (T - 293) \] 3. **Heat gained by aluminum**: \[ Q_{Al} = m_{Al} \cdot c_{Al} \cdot (T - T_{initial}) \] \[ Q_{Al} = 0.5 \cdot 910 \cdot (T - 293) \] ### Step 3: Combine the heat equations Since the heat lost by iron equals the total heat gained by water and aluminum: \[ Q_{Fe} = Q_{water} + Q_{Al} \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ 0.2 \cdot 470 \cdot (373 - T) = 0.2 \cdot 4200 \cdot (T - 293) + 0.5 \cdot 910 \cdot (T - 293) \] ### Step 4: Simplify and solve for \( T \) 1. Calculate the left side: \[ 0.2 \cdot 470 \cdot (373 - T) = 94 \cdot (373 - T) \] 2. Calculate the right side: \[ 0.2 \cdot 4200 \cdot (T - 293) = 840 \cdot (T - 293) \] \[ 0.5 \cdot 910 \cdot (T - 293) = 455 \cdot (T - 293) \] Combine these: \[ Q_{total} = 840 \cdot (T - 293) + 455 \cdot (T - 293) = (840 + 455) \cdot (T - 293) = 1295 \cdot (T - 293) \] 3. Set the equation: \[ 94 \cdot (373 - T) = 1295 \cdot (T - 293) \] 4. Expand and rearrange: \[ 35042 - 94T = 1295T - 379735 \] \[ 35042 + 379735 = 1295T + 94T \] \[ 414777 = 1389T \] \[ T = \frac{414777}{1389} \approx 299.33 \, \text{K} \] ### Step 5: Convert to Celsius \[ T_{final} = 299.33 - 273 \approx 26.33^\circ C \] ### Final Answer The equilibrium temperature of the mixture is approximately \( 26.33^\circ C \).

To find the equilibrium temperature of the mixture containing an aluminum vessel, water, and an iron block, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - Mass of aluminum vessel, \( m_{Al} = 0.5 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of water, \( m_{water} = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) - Mass of iron block, \( m_{Fe} = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) - Initial temperature of water and aluminum, \( T_{initial} = 20^\circ C = 293 \, \text{K} \) - Initial temperature of iron, \( T_{Fe} = 100^\circ C = 373 \, \text{K} \) ...
