A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 ml of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the temperature of the water in the calorimeter is determined to be 22.75 °C. To this is added 50.0 mL of water that was originally at 57.65 °C. A careful plot of the temperatures recorded after this established that the temperature at T, was 36.25 °C. What is the calorimeter constant in J/oC for this calorimeter? (density H20 = 1.00 g/mL; specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g.°C) Your Answer:
