24.100kg of copper at 33.000 degrees Celsius receives 310.000 kJ of heat. Calculate the final temperature of the metal.

This is the formula i think i should be using

Q=mc(t2-t1)


I solved the equation for T1, T1 being final temperature

T1=c*m*Q-T2 / C*m

The answer however seems really small and doesn't make sense, is this even the correct formula?

Click to expand...

I think you should refer to this
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/sphtt.html

Based on that, you can calculate that

310*(10^3) = 24.1*0.386*(T2 - 33)

T2 - 33 = 310*(10^3)/(24.1*0.386)

You can solve the remaining by yourself.
