To answer this question, we need to identify the mass, the specific heat, and the change in temperature for the metal and for the water.
00:13
We are provided with 150 grams of each, 150 grams of metal and of water.
00:22
We are trying to calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
00:26
We are provided with the specific heat capacity of the water.
00:30
Delta t, we need to do a little bit more work here.
00:34
So we are given the initial temperatures of the metal and the water, and we are told that the temperature of the water rises 18 .3 degrees.
00:44
So that is our delta t for water.
00:47
For the metal, we have to be careful.
00:50
So what we can do here is calculate the final temperature of both the metal and the water by taking the initial temperature of the water plus the temperature change they gave us, which is a total of 33 .3 degrees, which is important because at equilibrium, the metal and the water will have the same final temperature.
01:18
So to calculate the temperature change of the metal, we're going to do final temperature of 33 degrees minus initial temperature of 75 degrees...
