- In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 18.4 grams of titanium to 98.86°C and then drops it into a cup containing 75.9 grams of water at 23.43°C. She measures the final temperature to be 25.59°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of titanium to be J/g°C.arrow_forwardAn unknown hot metal at 107.03°C with a mass of 48.67g was mixed with 37.99g of water at an initial temperature of 13.65°C.
