A piece of metal is heated by placing it in hot oil. It is removed from the hot oil and dropped into a calorimeter of cold water. The water heats up due to the transfer of heat from the metal. What happens to the temperature of the calorimeter? How is the heat that causes the temperature of the calorimeter to rise accounted for during our calorimetry calculations?
