Question

Problem 44P

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 200 g aluminum cylinder that you take from your freezer and place in a mug of hot coffee. If the cylinder is cooled to –20°C, a typical freezer temperature, and then dropped into a large cup of coffee (essentially water, with a mass of 500 g) at 85°C, what is the final temperature of the coffee?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 12 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 44PBrewed 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 200 g aluminum cylinder that you take from your freezer and place in a mug of hot coffee. If the cylinder is cooled to –20°C, a typical freezer temperature, and then dropped into a large cup of coffee (essentially water, with a mass of 500 g) at 85°C, what is the final temperature of the coffee?
From the textbook chapter Thermal Properties of Matter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
