A 25.0g piece of aluminum sits in a room and cools. It loses 4300.0 J of heat. If the initial temperature of aluminum is 125.3°C, what is the final temperature? The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 0.900 J/g°C.
A piece of metal weighing 73.10 g was heated to 99.3°C and then put into 30.00 g of water (initially at 17.4°C ). The metal and water were allowed to come to the same temperature, determined to be 30.6°C . Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. (CH20 = 4.181 J/g°C ) Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
