A student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 128.1 grams of her metal and heats it to 79.6 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 11.47 grams of water at 45.7 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 71.4 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal? Please answer to three digits after the decimal point.
In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 18.4 grams of titanium to 98.86°C and then drops it into a cup containing 75.9 grams of water at 23.43°C. She measures the final temperature to be 25.59°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of titanium to be J/g°C.
A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 9.80kg of water at 27.4°C .
