Thermodynamics question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-02-16] [Hit: ]
5026 t = 30.t = 61.......
An iron cup of mass 0.180 kg, initially at 18°C is filled with 0.100 kg of hot water initially at 70°C. What is the final temperature after the water and the cup attain thermal equilibrium?

c(iron) = 0.47 J/g°C

I know that you use this equation: mcΔT = mcΔT.

The answer is 61.3°C, but I keep getting a different answer. Any help is appreciated.

The amount of heat that leaves the water must go to the cup:

0.100 kg * 4.18 kJ/( C kg) * (70 - t) = 0.180 kg * 0.47 kJ/(C kg) * (t - 18)

Thus

29.26 - 0.418 t = 0.0846 t - 1.5228

0.5026 t = 30.7828

t = 61.2 C
