12) A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the
iron has an initial temperature of 488 K and the gold has an initial temperature of 308 K, which of the
following statements is TRUE of the outcome when the two metals are placed in contact with one
another? Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.
A) Since the two metals have the same mass, the final temperature of the two metals will be 398 K,
exactly halfway between the two initial temperatures.
B) Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of gold is much smaller than
that of iron, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 308 K than to 488 K.
C) Since the two metals have the same mass, the thermal energy contained in the iron and gold after
reaching thermal equilibrium will be the same.
D) Since the two metals have the same mass, the thermal energy contained in each metal after
equilibrium will be the same.
E) None of the above are true.

B) 16.6 kJ
C) 73.6 kJ
D) 28.4 kJ
E) 12.9 kJ
