Acup of coffee (140g) cools from 75°c down to comfortable room temperature 20°c. how much energy does it release to the surroundings

Given that the mass of coffee in the cup = 140 g

Final temperature =

Initial temperature =

Let us assume the specific heat of coffee is equal to that of water = 4.184

Temperature change = T(final) - T(initial) = (20 - 75 )

                                                                   =- 55

-Heat given out by coffee = heat absorbed by the surroundings

Heat released into the surroundings =-()

                                             =

                                             = 32,217 J
