Question

a .300 kg piece of metal is heated to 88 degrees celsius and placed in a copper calorimeter with a mass .150 kg which contains .500kg which contains .500 L of water that are both initially at 12.6 degrees celcius. Over short period of time the mixture comes to an equilibrium temperature of 22.5 degrees celcius. What is the specific heat of the metal?

Answer 1

1250j/kg oC

Answer 2

Cp= 0.1554 cal/g C
= 650.3453 J/kg K
