Problem Set 11 (Calorimetry) In a calorimetry experiment, a 60 g metal sample was heated to 100°C, and then quickly transferred to a styrofoam cup with cover and containing 100 g of water at room temperature (23°C). After carefully swirling the calorimeter, the final temperature of the water was recorded at 27°C. Calculate for the specific heat capacity (Cm) of the metal sample. Assume that the specific heat capacity of water (Cw) is 1 cal/g.C°.

Problem Set 11 (Calorimetry)
In a calorimetry experiment, a 60 g metal sample was
heated to 100°C, and then quickly transferred to a
styrofoam cup with cover and containing 100 g of water
at room temperature (23°C). After carefully swirling the
calorimeter, the final temperature of the water was
recorded at 27°C. Calculate for the specific heat capacity
(Cm) of the metal sample. Assume that the specific heat
capacity of water (Cw) is 1 cal/g.C°.
