Question
a sample of cobalt, A, with a mass of 5.00g, is initially at 25 C. When this sample gains 6.70 J of heat, the temperature rises to 27.9 C. Another sample of cobalt, B, with a mass of 7.00 g, iw initially at 25 C. If sample B gains 5.00 J of heat, what is the final temperature of sample B

Answer:
26.5°C
Explanation:
We can solve this question using the equation:
q = m*S*ΔT
Where Q is heat gained in joules, m is the mass of the sample, S is specific heat and ΔT change in temperature.
With the sample A we can find specific heat of cobalt in order to find, in sample B, the ΔT and the final temperature:
Sample A:
q = m*S*ΔT
6.70J = 5.00g*S*(27.9°C-25.0°C)
0.462J/g°C = Specific heat of cobalt
Sample B:
q = m*S*ΔT
5.00J = 7.00g*0.462J/g°C*ΔT
1.5°C = ΔT
As the initial temperature of sample B is 25°C, final temperature is:
25°C + 1.5°C = 26.5°C
