An experiment was conducted to determine the specific heat of platinum. It was determined that 158.8 Joules of heat were required to increase the temperature of a 50.0 gram sample of platinum from 20.0 oC to 45.5 oC. Based on these experimental results calculate the specific heat (J/g⋅⋅oC) of platinum.
When 6.54 grams of Zn is placed in 500.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4(aq) in a coffee cup calorimeter, it reacts completely to displace copper. The temperature of the solution rises from 20.0˚C to 30.4˚C. Assume the coffee cup itself gains no heat and that the solution has the same density (1.00 g/mL) and specific heat (4.184 J/g˚C) as pure water. (a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
