In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter todetermine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.2 grams ofplatinum to 98.29°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.0grams of water at 23.39°C. She measures the final temperature to be24.00°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water,she calculates the specific heat of platinum to be J/g°C.
