A pure gold ring and pure silver ring have a total mass of 17g. The two rings are heated to 75.5C and dropped into a 14.6mL of water at 20.7C. When equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the water is 23.3C.
A) What is the mass of a gold ring? Assume density 0.998g/mL of water.
B) What is the mass of the silver ring? Assume density 0.998g/mL of water.
