3. A piece of copper metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 50.0 g of water at a temperature of 20.0°C. After stirring, the final temperature of both copper and water is 25.0°C. Assuming no heat losses, and that the specific heat (capacity) of water is 4.18 Jg K), what is the heat capacity of the copper in J/K?

A coffee cup calorimeter contains 156.56 g of water at 22.50 °C. A 66.065 g piece of iron is heated to 101.17 °C. The piece of iron is added to the coffee cup caloriemter and the contents reach thermal equilibrium at 25.68 °C. The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449 and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 How much heat, q, is lost by the piece of iron? Fire = How much heat, q, is gained by the water? qwater = Ccalorimeter = The difference between the heat lost by the piece of iron and the heat gained by the water is due to heat transfer to the styrofoam and the heat required to raise the temperature of the calorimeter. What is the heat capacity of the styrofoam calorimeter in joules per kelvin (*)? What would be the final temperature of the system if all of the heat lost by the iron was absorbed by the water? Tinal J = J °C
A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 2.30 kg of water at 35.8 °C. During the reaction 74.9 kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions 1 is 4.18 J.g •K`1 ▪ Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
A piece of iron (specific heat, 0.444 J/g•°C) is added to 127.31 grams of water (specific heat, 4.184 J/g•°C) in a calorimeter.
