The temperature of the water and the chromium : 25.122 ° C Â
The law of conservation of energy can be applied to heat changes, i.e. the heat received / absorbed is the same as the heat released Â
Q in(gained) = Q out (lost)
Heat can be calculated using the formula: Â
Q = mc∆T Â
Q = heat, J Â
m = mass, g Â
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C Â
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K Â
Q Chromium= Q water
