A sample of solid zinc is heated with an electrical coil. If 57.6 Joules of energy are added to a 13.5 gram sample and the final temperature is 35.8°C, what is the initial temperature of the zinc?
Added by Patricia J.
Step 1
8°C. First, 57.6 Joules of energy are added to the sample. This causes the sample to heat up. The temperature then rises to 37.2°C. Show more…

A 13.8 -g piece of zinc was heated to $98.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in boiling water and then dropped into a beaker containing $45.0 \mathrm{g}$ of water at $25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ When the water and metal come to thermal equilibrium, the temperature is $27.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ What is the specific heat capacity of zinc?
The specific heat of a sample of zinc is 0.390 J/g·°C. How many joules of heat are necessary to raise the temperature of a 1.42 kg block of zinc from 25.0 °C to 88.5 °C?
