Gen Chem Question

[liveoak]

If 1.0 mole each of graphite at 350K (Cp = 8.63 J/mol deg) and water at 273K (Cp = 4.18 J/mol deg) are put together in an insulated container, which of the following gives the final temperature (T) of the water in degrees C?

Can only one give me the equation to solve this?

Is it qLost = qGained?

if it is, please write out the entire equation. thanks. brain fart here.

(1molgraph)(8.63)(Tf-350) = (1molwater)(4.18)(Tf-273)

i think that should be it.. i feel like im missing something here lol

Yes, i think you just need to put a negative in front of the 8.63 part of the equation to balance them out.

Haha. Is this from Peterson's MCAT book?
