**Calorimetry Experiment: Determining the Specific Heat Capacity of Iron**In this experiment, a 60.0 g sample of iron is placed into a calorimeter, which contains 300.0 g of water. Initially, the iron sample is at a temperature of 98.3 °C, while the water starts at 22.0 °C. After heat exchange, the final temperature of the water stabilizes at 24.1 °C. The pressure throughout the experiment is maintained at 1 atm.**Objective:**Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron based on the results of the experiment. Ensure that your answer is rounded to the appropriate number of significant digits.**Diagram Explanation:**- **Thermometer:** Measures the temperature within the calorimeter.- **Insulated Container:** Ensures minimal heat exchange with the environment, allowing for more accurate measurement of heat transfer between the iron and water.- **Water:** The medium that absorbs heat from the iron sample.- **Sample:** The iron sample whose specific heat capacity is to be determined.- **Calorimeter Setup:** The entire setup, consisting of an insulated container and a thermometer, is arranged to facilitate effective heat transfer analysis. The graph provided for input appears to be an area where the calculated specific heat capacity can be entered, typically showing units in Joules per gram per degree Celsius (J/g·°C).

You have a sample of water with an unknown amount of mass. You add 348J of heat to the sample and measure the change in temperature to be increasing by 5.2 degrees celsius. What is the mass of the sample of water? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g x degrees Celsius).
The molar heat of solution of a substance is found to be +21.38 kJ/mol. The addition of 0.100 mol of this substance to 1.000L of water initially at 40.0 degrees celsius results in a temperature decrease. Assume the specific heat of the resulting solution to be equal to that of pure water. Find the final temperature of the solution (Also assume that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible).
