Asked by Karen
A 50.0g sample of copper at 10.0 C is placed in 200.0g H20 at 40.0 C in a calorimeter. Heat flows from the water to the copper until both are at 39.3 C. What is the specific heat of copper? (Csp H20 is 4.18J/g*C.)
I don't have any idea how to do this problem. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you:)

heat to warm copper=
Ccopper * 50 *(39.3-10)
heat to cool water=
4.18 * 200 * (40-39.3)
set them equal and solve for Ccopper
