The temperature of the water and the chromium : 25.122 ° C
Further explanation
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
Q in(gained) = Q out (lost)
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Q Chromium= Q water
