Question
A very hot piece of metal is placed in 200 mL of water. The
water is initially at 20°C and heats up to 25 °C. Remembering
that water has a specific heat of 1 cal/(g* C), how much heat
did the water gain?
Q =
unit
The metal had a mass of 218 grams and began at a temperature
122 °C. Assuming that iron lost all of the heat the water gained
and also reached a final temperature of 25 °C, what is its
specific heat capcity
C =
cal/(g*° C)
