A chunk of titanium weighing 19.39 g and originally at 98.06 °C is carefully lowered into an insulated cup containing 81.56 g water at 21.30 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.83 J/°C. Using the accepted value for the specific heat capacity of titanium (See the References tool), calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume that there is no heating of the surroundings.
In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction.
