q diamond = mass diamond x specific heat diamond x delta T
q H2O = mcdT
As a purity check for industrial diamonds, a 22 - carat diamond (1 carat = 0.2g) is heated to 63 degrees C and immersed in 26g of water in a constant pressure calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water is 23 degrees C.
Calculate the ΔT of the water and of the diamond.
(C of diamond = 0.519 J/g degrees C)
