Question

An ice chest at a beach party contains 13 cans of soda at 2°C. Each can of soda has a mass of 0.39 kg and a specific heat capacity of 3600 J/(kg·°C). Someone adds a 7 kg watermelon at 29°C to the chest. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water. Ignore the specific heat capacity of the chest and determine the final temperature T of the soda and watermelon.


______________ degrees C?

Already answered myself....answer is 18.636 degrees C.....do not answer question....u will not get any karma points!!!

Explanation / Answer

heat lost = heat gained

13*0.39*3600*(T-2) = 7*4184*(29-T)

T = 18.63 degree
