Answer to Question #229103 in General Chemistry for Mickayla Ennis

Question #229103

A piece of copper metal is initially at 100.0° C. It is dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 50.0 g of water at a temperature of 20.0° C. After stirring, the final temperature of both copper and water is 25.0° C. Assuming no heat losses, and that the specific heat (capacity) of water is 4.18 J/(g·K), what is the heat capacity (not spectific heat capacity) of the copper in J/K?

  1. 2.79
  2. 3.33
  3. 13.9
  4. 209
  5. None of the above

Here we are given that no energy is lost in the surrounding so we can say that there energy is conserved in this system


So we will have


energy given by hot piece of copper = energy absorbed by the coffee


So we will have
