Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation qwater = m × c × ΔT. We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL. The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So, qwater = qmetal. Data: Measured Mass of Metal: 27.776 g Distilled Water Volume: 25 mL Distilled Water Temperature: 25.3 mL Temperature of Metal: 100.5 C Temperature of Mixture: 38.9 C
