A well insulated bowl contains 220 g of water at 20 C. A very hot 300 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water,causing the water to boil, with 5.00 g of water being converted to steam. The final temperature of the system is 100 C.
Given Information: Cater = 4200 J/(kg C); L = 2258000 J/kg: Copper 390 J/(kg C).
Draw a temperature time graph of both the copper and the water on the same graph.
Determine how much energy the water must have gained.
Determine the initial temperature of the piece of copper.
