To find the specific heat capacity of a metal block, insulated baths of water can be used. A 2.0 kg block of metal “A” is placed in a water bath at 100 oC, and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. It is then quickly transferred to a second insulated water bath at an initial temperature of 20 oC. The metal block and the water are then allowed to reach thermal equilibrium, and the final temperature of the water is found to be 35 oC. The mass of water in the second bath is
4.0 kg, and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.19 kJ kg-1 K-1.
a) What is the change in temperature of the metal block while it is in the second water bath?
b) How much thermal energy is gained by the water in the second water bath? c) Find the specific heat capacity of metal “A”.?
