A 134.0 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 91.0°C and then placed in 125 mL of water at 25.0°C. The final temperature of the water is measured at 31.0°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the unknown metal.
Whipping cream is made at home by using a cold bowl to help the cream stiffen. The bowl is made of aluminum with a specific heat of 897 J/kg-°C, is placed onto an ice bath to serve as the cooling medium. What is the final temperature of the aluminum bowl and ice if the initial temperature of ice and the aluminum bowl is -5°C and 33°C, respectively? The mas of ice used is ½ kg and the bowl is 250 g. The ice has specific heat of 2090 J/kg-°C.
A 200 gram copper calorimeter contains 400 g of water at 25 °C. A metal specimen weighing 250 g is heated to a certain temperature and then plunged into the calorimeter. The final temperature of the mixture is 42 °C. If then specific heat of the metal specimen is 0.09 cal/(g-°C), find the initial temperature of the specimen just before it was plunged into the calorimeter
