Question

c) A copper calorimeter of mass 50 g contains 100 g of water at 20°C. A metallic piece of mass
250 g is heated to 100°C and is then dropped into the calorimeter. The contents of the
calorimeter are well stirred and its final highest temperature is recorded to be 28°C. If the
specific heat capacity of water 4.2 J/gºC and of copper is 0.4J/gºC, find:
(i) the heat gained by water.
(ii) the heat gained by calorimeter,
(iii) total heat supplied by the metal piece, and
(iv) the specific heat capacity of metal.
