When 6.54 grams of Zn is placed in 500.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4(aq) in a coffee cup calorimeter, it reacts completely to displace copper. The temperature of the solution rises from 20.0˚C to 30.4˚C. Assume the coffee cup itself gains no heat and that the solution has the same density (1.00 g/mL) and specific heat (4.184 J/g˚C) as pure water. (a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 4.70 kg of water at 38.7 °C. During the reaction 55.6 kJ of heat flows out of the flask and into the bath. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath.

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.A student heats 62.45 grams of platinum to 99.18 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 84.71 grams of water at 23.23 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 25.02 °C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.66 J/°C.Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of platinum.
