Answer :
Final answer:
The specific heat capacities of gold and water play a crucial role in determining the final temperature.Specific Heat Capacity: Gold: 129 J/kg°C Water: 4,186 J/kg°C
Explanation:
- Calculate heat gained by water: Q = mcΔT
- Calculate heat lost by gold: Q = mcΔT
- Set the two Q's equal and solve for final temperature
Specific Heat Capacity:
- Gold: 129 J/kg°C
- Water: 4,186 J/kg°C
