1. Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water). 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. (4 points)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

How much water did you use? What was the temperature change in the water?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Metal Name copper Mass of Metal 29.884 Volume of water 36.1mL Initial temp. in calorimeter 35.3C Initial temp. in beaker 100.7C Final temp. of mixture 33.1C

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Use the formula \(q=m*C_P*(T_f-T_i)\) m=mass \(C_p\)=specific heat capacity \(T_f\)=final temp \(T_i\)=initial temp This only needs to include information about the water and not the metal.
