If the specific heat capacity of nickel is 0.444J/oCg what mass of nickel was originally heated? Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. A sample of nickel is heated to 99.8oC and placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 150.0 g water at23.5oC. After the metal cools, the final temperature of metal and water mixture is 25.0oC.
