A 100.0g sample of nickel is heated to 100.0 oC (Celsius) and is placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 150. g of water at 25.0 oC. After the metal cools, the final temperature of the metal and the water is 29.8 oC. Calculate the specific heat capacity of nickel from these experimental data, assuming that no heat escapes to the surroundings or is transferred to the calorimeter. Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g oC atomic mass Ni = 58.7 g/mol
Calculate your answer in J/g oC with 3 significant figures
Then calculate the molar heat capacity of Ni in J / mol oC, again, to 3 significant figures
