Acamper is about to drink his morning coffee. he pours 400 grams of coffee, initially at into a 250-g aluminum cup, initially at 16.0°c. what is the equilibrium temperature of the coffee-cup system, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings? the specific heat of aluminum is 900 j/kg°c. assume that the specific heat of coffee is the same as the specific heat of water.

For the coffee, we are given that:
m = 0.4 kg
Ti = 75 degrees celcius
C = 4186 J/Kg.K

For the aluminum container, we are given that:
m = 0.25 kg
Ti = 16 degrees celcius
C = 900 J/Kg.K

Now, the rule that we will use to solve this problem is:
∑Q = 0
∑Q = Qcoffee + Qcontainer 
where: Q = CmΔT
Therefore:
∑Q = (4186)(0.4)(Tfinal - 75) + (900)(0.25)(Tfinal - 16) = 0
1674 (Tfinal - 75) + 225 (Tfinal - 16) = 0
1674 Tfinal - 125550 + 225 Tfinal - 3600 = 0
1899 Tfinal = 129150
Tfinal = 68.009 dgrees celcius

Question was not very clear if there are specific answer choices tell me and i'll try to you more. hope this though2 laps is 1 min. we know that for each min she does two times the amount of laps. for 12 laps we can do 12/2 which does give us 12 laps in 6 mins not 16 mins.
