Question

With this information and the specific heat of water, 4.184 J/(g·°C), calculate the specific heat, ?, of gold.

Select gold from the list of metals and record its mass, mmetal. 38.600 Mmetal = Next, heat up the piece of gold and record the metal's highest temperature, Tmetal - Tmetal 65.17 °C Next, record the mass of water (mwater) in the coffee cup. 60.000 mwater = g Record the initial temperature of the water, Twater1, in the coffee cup. Twater1 = 25.00 °C Place the hot piece of gold into the cool water and record the final temperature of the water, Twater2 -. Twater2 = 25.78 °C
