A block of copper is heated to 392 °C and then is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 281 g of water at 25.0 °C. The final temperature of the system is 45.1 °C. What is the mass of the copper block to the nearest gram? (Assume all heat is transferred to the water). Write your answer in the box, and do NOT include units. Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.383 J/(g*°C) Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/(g*°C)

A piece of unknown metal with a mass of 23.78 g is heated in boiling water to 97.4°C and then dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 72.71 g of water at 13.65°C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 24.79°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g/°C. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
A student is asked to identify an unknown piece of metal. The metal has a mass of 12.34 g. It is placed in a boiling water bath and brought up to 99.98 oC. A coffee-cup calorimeter is set up with 103.25 mL of water (density = 1.00 g/mL and specific heat = 4.184 J/g.oC) at a room temperature of 21.30 oC. The metal is removed from the boiling water and placed in the calorimeter. A final temperature is recorded as 22.32 oC. Find the specific heatcapacity of the unknown metal. (Assume there is no heat loss)
You discover a new substance and wish to determine its specific heat capacity. Your sample weighs 229 g and upon absorbing 16.4 kJ of heat the temperature is raised from 19.6K to 53.7K. What is the specific heat capacity (in J/g•K) of the metal?
A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.57 kg sample of a pure substance from-1.1 °C to 8.2 °C. The experiment shows that 6.6 kJ of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. -1 DJ-g K -1 10
When a brass black was dropped into a 124-gram water, the water temperature increased from 21.0°C to 36.8°C. What is the heat capacity of the brass block? The initial temperature of the brass was 314.2°C and the specific heat of water is 4.184J/gk. If the mass of the brass block is 77.764g, what is the specific heat of the brass?
A 43.9 g spoon made of pure silver (c = 0.235 J/g C) at 20.1 celcius is used to stir an 8 oz. (240 g) cup of coffee at 9.12 celcius. what is the final temperature of the coffee? Assume that the coffee is an insulated container and the spoon absorbs all of the heat from the coffee, and that the coffee has the same specific heat as water.
