A metal sample weighing 124.10 g and at a temperature of 99.3 C was placed in 42.87 g of water in a calorimeter at 23.9 C. At equilibrium the temperature of the water and metal was 41.6 C.
a. What was delta t for the water?
b. What was delta t for the metal?
c. How much heat flowed into the water?
d. Taking the specific heat of water to be 4.18 J/g C, calculate the specific heat of the metal.
e. What is the approximate molar mass of the metal?
