Question

A 10.00g sample of cu is heated to 450.0k and dropped into a calorimeter containing 100.0g of water at 298.0k. The temperature of the water rose to 299.4k. What is the specific heat capacity of copper?
I came up with
(10.00g)(0.862)(1.4) -12.068= (10.00g)(c)(-150.6) =0.008013

Explanation / Answer

Answer: that is not right path, u can try try as fallows

Since Heat (q) loss of metal (Cu) = Heat(q) gian in water

Mass of Cu x temp change of Cu x Cp of Cu = Mass of H2O x temp. change of H2O x Cp of H2O

10 x (450-299.4) x Cp of Cu = 100 x (299.4-298) x 4.184

Cp of Cu = 0.38895
