Question
A student heats 68.15 grams of silver to 98.73 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 78.21 grams of water at 23.04 °C. She measures the
final temperature to be 26.47 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.88 J/
°C.
Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of silver.
Specific Heat (Ag) =
J/g°C.
