In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to
determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.6 grams of
gold to 99.38°C and then drops it into a cup containing 79.1 grams
of water at 23.82°C. She measures the final temperature to be
24.42°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water,
she calculates the specific heat of gold to be
Answer: ? J/g°C.
