Q1
A 30.0 g piece of metal at $10^\circ\text{C}$ is placed into 120.0 g of water at $40^\circ\text{C}$ in an insulated container. The specific heats are $c_{\text{metal}}=0.80\ \text{J g}^{-1}!!\cdot!^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ and $c_{\text{water}}=4.18\ \text{J g}^{-1}!!\cdot!^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$. Heat lost equals heat gained. Which statement is correct about the signs of $q$ for each substance (taking $q>0$ as heat gained by the substance)?
