Answer to Question #37949 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for alzahra

Question

An ice chest at a beach party contains 12 cans of soda at 3.22 °C. Each can of soda has a mass of 0.35 kg and a specific heat capacity of 3800 J/(kg C°). Someone adds a 9.33-kg watermelon at 25.5 °C to the chest. The specific heat capacity of watermelon is nearly the same as that of water. Ignore the specific heat capacity of the chest and determine the final temperature T of the soda and watermelon in degrees Celsius.
