In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to
determine the specific heat of a metal.
She heats 19.5 grams of tungsten
to 97.80°C and then drops it into a cup containing
78.3 grams of water at 22.58°C.
She measures the final temperature to be
23.20°C.
Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she
calculates the specific heat of tungsten to
be J/g°C.
