An alloy is a solid solution between two metals. A 15.0 grams nugget of an alloy made from gold and copper with unknown composition is heated to 100.00 °C, similar to your experiment, and is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 25.0 ml of water. The initial temperature of water was 22.80 °C and the final temperature was 24.74 °C. Identify the mass percent of gold in the nugget if Cs, Au = 0.128 J/g °C, Cs, cu = 0.385 J/g °C, and Cs, water = 4.18 J/g °C.
