In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constantpressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specificheat capacity of a solid, or to measure the enthalpy change of asolution phase reaction. A student heats 61.95 g silver to 99.04 °Cand carefully lowers it into a cup containing 82.84 g water at20.57 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 23.67 °C. Theheat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as thecalorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be1.68 J/°C. Assuming that there is no heating of the surroundingscalculate the specific heat capacity of silver.
Specific Heat (Ag) =. J g-1 °C-1.
