Question

A piece of metal of mass 18 g at 104 ◦C is
placed in a calorimeter containing 47.4 g of
water at 22◦C. The final temperature of the
mixture is 40.8
◦C. What is the specific heat
capacity of the metal? Assume that there is
no energy lost to the surroundings.

Answer 1

That equation I gave you for the Fe and H2O works all of the heat problems involving two substance at different temperatures. Plug in the numbers and solve for the only unknown in the equation.

Answer 2

thank you!
