A piece of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.452 J·g–1·˚C–1, with a mass of 54.3218 g is heated in a water bath until it reaches a temperature of 98.2 ˚C. The iron is then transferred into a coffee-cup calorimeter made of nested Styrofoam cups that contains 68.5314 g of water initially at 22.1 ˚C. The final temperature of the entire system is 27.5 ˚C. Based on this information, determine the calorimeter constant Ccal for this particular calorimeter in J·˚C–1. Recall that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J·g–1·˚C–1.
A certain diet doctor encourages people to diet by drinking ice water. His theory is that the body must burn off enough fat to raise the temperature of the water from 0.00C to the body temperature of 37.0C. How many liters of ice water would have to be consumed to burn off 454 g (about 1 lb) of fat, assuming that burning this much fat requires 3500 Cal be transferred to the ice water? Why is it not advisable to follow this diet? (One liter = 103 cm3. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3.)
