Textbook Question
Chapter 3.5, Problem 40PP
a. A 22.8-g piece of metal at 92.6 °C is dropped into 46 g of water at 24.7 °C. All the heat lost by the metal is used to heat the water, and the final temperature of the water and metal is 28.2 °C. Calculate the specific heat, in J/g °C, of the metal.
b. A 23.4-g piece of metal at 96.9 °C is dropped into 52 g of water at 23.3 °C. All the heat lost by the metal is used to heat the water, and the final temperature of the water and metal is 24.4 °C. Calculate the specific heat, in J/g °C, of the metal.
