n 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 63.03 grams of chromium to 98.03 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 79.71 grams of water at 23.19 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 28.85 °C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.57 J/°C.Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of chromium. Specific Heat (Cr) = ____________J/g °C.
A sample of water in a constant pressure calorimeter has a temperature of 23.4 ̊C. (You may assume the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible). If you put 28.6 g of aluminum at a temperature of 96.2 ̊C into this water and the final temperature is 26.1 ̊C, what volume of water is in the calorimeter? You may assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.
