Question
A student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 162.5 grams of her metal and heats it to 86.9 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 10.77 grams of water at 47.5 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 55.3 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal?

- A 24.6 g sample of a metal is heated to 110.0°C and then placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 125 g of water at a temperature of 23.00°C. After the metal cools, the final temperature of the metal and water is 24.83°C. Assuming no heat has escaped to the surroundings or been absorbed by the calorimeter, calculate the specific heat of the metal. 24. 4.18 J/g°C 0.457 J/g°C 0.499 J/g°C 1.00 J/g°C A) B)arrow_forwardA student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 128.3 grams of her metal and heats it to 78.3 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 14.76 grams of water at 45.8 degrees Celsius.
