| Physics Homework Help-Specific Heat and Heat of Fusion?
This is the exact question: While casting a silver ornament, a silversmith pours 0.12 kg of molten silver at 1010 degrees celsius into a 2.40 kg iron mold at a temperature of 35 degrees celsius. What will be the equilibrium temperature of the silver casting and mold? Assume no thermal energy is lost to the surrounding environment. Information: Heat of Fusion (Iron)= 2.66*10^5 J/kg Melting Point (Iron)= 1535 C Specific Heat (Iron as a solid)= 450 J/kg*C Heat of Fusion (Silver)= 1.04*10^5 J/kg Specific Heat (Silver as a solid)= 235 J/kg*C Specific Heat (Silver as a liquid)= 290 J/kg*C Melting Point (Silver)= 960 C I seem to think that I have been given too much information and that this is a trick question. I could be mistaken though. Thanks |
