At a chemical plant where you are an engineer, a tank contains an unknown liquid. You must determine the liquids specific heat capacity. You put 0.500 kgkg of the liquid into an insulated metal cup of mass 0.200 kgkg. Initially the liquid and cup are at 20∘C∘C. You add 0.500 kgkg of water that has a temperature of 80∘C∘C. After thermal equilibrium has been reached, the final temperature of the two liquids and the cup is 58.2 ∘C∘C.
