Brewed coffee is often too hot to drink right away. you can cool it with an ice cube, but this dilutes it. or you can buy a device that will cool your coffee without dilution - a 150 g aluminum cylinder that you take from your freezer and place in a mug of hot coffee. part a if the cylinder is cooled to -20âc, a typical freezer temperature, and then dropped into a large cup of coffee (essentially water, with a mass of 500 g) at 85âc, what is the final temperature of the coffee?

In order to answer this question you need to know the specific heat of aluminum and water. The source below says 0.900 J/g K and 4.186 J/g K respectively. Let T be the final temperature to be found: (0.900 J/g K) x (270 g) x (T - (-20))K = (243T + 4860) J gained by the Al (4.186 J/g K) x (500 g) x (85 - T)K = (177905 - 2093T ) J lost by the coffee Set the two expressions for heat gained/lost equal to each other: 243T + 4860 = 177905 - 2093T Solve for T algebraically: T = 74.1 °C

Acetic acid  /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named  ethanoic acid  /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid  organic compound  with the  chemical formula  ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called  glacial acetic acid.  vinegar  is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to  polyvinyl acetate  and  cellulose acetate. it is classified as a  weak acid  since it only partially  dissociates  in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7  3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366  chemblchembl539  chemspider171  drugbankdb03166  echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260  (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010  meshacetic+acidpubchem  cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p  un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4)  key:   qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n  smilescc(o)=o
