Question

11. Zinc metal has a specific heat capacity of 0.388J/g°C. If 5.26g of Zinc, with a temperature of 60°C, was placed in a calorimeter with 50.0 grams of water. If the final temperature of the water was 27.5°C, what will be the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter?

Step 1

The heat released can be calculated using the formula: Q = mcΔT where: Q = heat released m = mass of the substance (in this case, zinc) = 5.26g c = specific heat capacity of the substance = 0.388J/g°C ΔT = change in temperature = (60°C - 27.5°C) = Show more…

Zinc metal has a specific heat capacity of 0.388(J)/(g)deg C. If 5.26g of Zinc, with a temperature of 60deg C, was placed in a calorimeter with 50.0 grams of water. If the final temperature of the water was 27.5deg C, what will be the initial temperature of the water in the calorimeter? 11.Zinc metal has a specific heat capacity of 0.388J/gC.
