Question

With this information and the specific heat of water, 4.184 J/(g·°C), calculate the specific heat, ?, of gold.

Select gold from the list of metals and record its mass, mmetal.
38.600
Mmetal =
Next, heat up the piece of gold and record the metal's highest temperature, Tmetal -
Tmetal
65.17
°C
Next, record the mass of water (mwater) in the coffee cup.
60.000
mwater =
g
Record the initial temperature of the water, Twater1, in the coffee cup.
Twater1 =
25.00
°C
Place the hot piece of gold into the cool water and record the final temperature of the water, Twater2 -.
Twater2 =
25.78
°C
