Question

Transcribed Image Text:A student wishes to determine the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter. After she mixes 90.5 g
of water at 67.5°C with 90.5 g of water, already in the calorimeter, at 19.1°C, the final temperature
of the water is 35.0°C. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter in J/K. Use 4.184 J/g°C as the
specific heat of water.
Enter your answer to three significant figures in unit of J/K.

- A 350.0 g iron pot is heated on a stove for a period of time until it is hot. The stove is turned off and 516 g of cold water (10.0 °C) is added to the pot. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the temperature of the water is 28.4 ° C. What was the initial temperature of the iron pot, assuming heat was exchanged between these two objects and none was lost to the surroundings? (The specific heat capacity of iron is 0.450 J/g °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g °C) Give only the numerical answer in the box and not units. Give 4 sig figs in your answer.
