The initial temperature of the metal was 94.24⁰C.

Initial temperature of the metal

The initial temperature of the metal is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • Δθ is change in temperature

Δθ = Q/mc

Δθ = (3,300) / (0.854 x 150)

Δθ = 25.76⁰C

Δθ = T₂ - T₁

T₁ = T₂ - Δθ

T₁ = 120 - 25.76

T₁ = 94.24⁰C

Thus, the initial temperature of the metal was 94.24⁰C.
