Question

Use the following information to answer Questions 1-5: An aluminum sample weighing 31.1 g is placed in a hot water bath at 99.0 oC.  The calorimeter contains 37.5 g of deoinized water.  The initial temperature of the water is 18.5 oC.  The metal is transferred to the calorimeter and the final temperature reached by the water, metal, and calorimeter is 28.6 oC.

assume qmetal = -1710 J and qH2O = 1430 J.  ΔTH2O = 10.1 oC.  Calculate the calorimeter constant, Ccal in J/oC. Keep three sig figs in your answer.
