    A 42.6 gram pie ce of metal is heated to a temperature of 100 C. A 250 ml container of water (recall 1 g of water = 1 ml) starts at a temperature of 17 C. When the metal is added to the water, the water increases in temperature to 20 C. (The  specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g C) What is the specific heat capacity of the metal? Assume a closed system. How to aproach the problem: Write what you know about the water and about the metal: Water: Change in temperature 17 to 20; 250 g; 4.184 J/gC Metal: Change in temperature 100 to 20; 42.6g ; Cp unknown Recall that the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water in a closed system. Since the change in temperature, mass and specific heat capacity of water are all known, solve for heat abosrbed by water first: Heat absorbed by water= (3 C) (250) (4.184). This answer will be the SAME as the heat lost by the metal. 3,138 J of heat lost by water (or gained by metal). Now go to metal side. Use the 3,138 J from the water equation for the heat lost from the metal. 3,138 J = (100-20 C) (42.6 g) (Cp) . Now solve for the Cp of metal

    A 96.85 g piece of metal is heated to a temperature of 100 C. A 250 ml container of water( recall: 1 g of water = 1 ml of water) metal is added to the water, the water increases in temperature from 13 C to 19 C. (The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g C). What is the specific heat capacity of the metal? Assume a closed system. How to approach this problem: Write what you know about water and about the metal. Remember that the heat lost from the metal is gained by the water. Solve frist for the heat absorbed/loss on the side without unknowns (i.e. water).
