A student is trying to determine some information about a metal sphere. He weighs a piece of metal sphere and it weighed 8.25 g. When the student places it into a graduated cylinder of water , the liquid level rises from 6.25 mL to 10.47 mL. Part 1: if the metal sphere was heated from 24.5°C to 78.6°C and absorbed 876 J of heat, what is the specific heat capacity of this metal sphere ? Part 2: What is the mass of water used in grams.
A student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 128.3 grams of her metal and heats it to 78.3 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 14.76 grams of water at 45.8 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 51.5 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal? Please answer to three digits after the decimal point.
