Question
A chunk of tungsten weighing 18.64 grams and
originally at 97.78 °C is dropped into an insulated
cup containing 76.26 grams of water at 22.22 °C.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes
referred to as the calorimeter constant) was
determined in a separate experiment to be 1.52 J/
°C.
Using the accepted value for the specific heat of
tungsten (0.133), calculate the final temperature of
the water. Assume that no heat is lost to the
surroundings.
