A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.54kg sample of C4H8O from 2.1°C to 19.3°C. The experiment shows that 4.33 x 10^4J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity ofC4H8O? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
In the laboratory a student determines the specific heat of a metal.He heats 18.4 grams of platinum to 99.28 °C and then drops it into an insulated cup containing 85.3 grams of water at 23.56 °C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, he measures the final temperature to be 24.10 °C.Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, he calculates the specific heat of platinum to be J/g°C.
