A hot copper pipe is placed in a water-filled calorimeter and the calorimeter is sealed. Which pieces of data must you know in order to calculate the thermal energy released as the pipe cools?
1.)mass of water, specific heat of water, temperature change of water
2.)enthalpy of copper, mass of copper, temperature change of copper
3.)mass of water, specific heat of water, specific heat of copper
4.)enthalpy of water, temperature change of water, mass of copper

ok i really don't want to get this answer wrong for you but i you were asking me i think 4 but i am not sure about mass. i really sorry i could be any better help

anonymous · Answer

I pretty sure I knew mass was an answer but I think it has to be the temperature of the water, and not the copper. I was worried about the temperature

superhelp101 · Answer

yea i was thinking the temp of water too
