- In order to determine the heat capacity of their latest phone, CrabappleTM engineers cool the phone in the freezer to -31.8ºC. They then drop it into a calorimeter with some water in it that is at a temperature of 57.4ºC. The calorimeter (including the water) has a total heat capacity of 780.92 J/ºC. After a few minutes the temperature of the calorimeter is stabilized to 35.8ºC. What is the heat capacity of the phone? Enter your answer with at least 3 sig figs assuming units of J/ºC.arrow_forwardThe specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 J/°C.g. a.
