When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed.
The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a
coffee cup calorimeter.

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 62.54 grams of titanium to 98.00 °C and then drops it into a
cup containing 75.68 grams of water at 21.62 °C. She measures the final
temperature to be 29.05 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter
constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.89 J/°C.
Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of
titanium.
Specific Heat (Ti) = | J/g°C.
