In an experiment to determine the specific heat of copper, a piece of copper weighing 50.06 is first heated to 100°C in steam. It is then immersed into water at 27.06°C.The water in the calorimeter weighs 100.08 g and the inner aluminum cap weighs 50.07 g. If the final temperature is 30.01 C, what is the specific heat of copper in CGS units given that the specific heat of aluminum is 0.22 cal/g- C? (Put only the value in three significant figures without the unit.)

To treat a burn on his hand, a person decides to place an ice cube on the burned skin. The mass of the ice cube is 12.5 g, and its initial temperature is -12.2 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of his skin, 30.5 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all of the water remains in the hand. Constants for water can be found in this table. q= J
