Question
Supplemental Exercise
1. The specific heat of copper is 0.385J/g°C, the specific heat of platinum is 0.133J/g°C, the specific
heat of magnesium is 1.11J/g°C. If 100.g sample of each of these metals was heated to 100°C
and dropped into a calorimeter with 100.g of water at 20°C. Which would have the highest final
temperature?
2. If a student uses a very large piece of ice in part D, the ice might not completely melt and the
thermometer might read 1°C at the end of the trial. Would this cause the magnitude of the
calculated value of fusion to large or too small. Explain your reasoning.
