- Copper and zinc have have the same specific heat, (0.39 J/g x 1/C), how might you determine which metal you have as an unknown ?arrow_forwardA student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 128.1 grams of her metal and heats it to 79.6 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 11.47 grams of water at 45.7 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 71.4 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal? Please answer to three digits after the decimal point.arrow_forwardAn unknown hot metal at 122.41°C with a mass of 53.37g was mixed with 28.15g of water at an initial temperature of 19.28°C. A final temperature (for both water and metal) of 22.27°C was reached. In units of J/(g°C), what is the specific heat of the unknown metal?arrow_forward
- It takes 2.16 J of heat to raise the temperature of Object A by 1 °C, and 4.64 J to raise the temperature of Object B by 1 °C. Suppose A and B are brought into contact. A is initially hotter. A is seen to cool down by 6.9 °C. How would you calculate the rise in temperature of B? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols. change in temperature of B = 0 Continue OO X 9 0.0 3 wevee muuiầw Hill LLC. All Rights Reserved.
