To determine the specific heat of an object, a student heats it to100°C in boiling water. She then places the 17.2 g object in a 155g aluminum calorimeter containing 101 g of water. The aluminum andwater are initially at a temperature of 20.0°C, and are thermallyinsulated from their surroundings. If the final temperature is22.0°C, what is the specific heat of the object?

A 215-g sample of a substance is heated to 330°C and then plunged into a 105-g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 165 g of water and a 17-g glass thermometer at 12.5°C. The final temperature is 35.0°C. What is the specific heat of the substance? (Assume no water boils away.)

An aluminum pellet(specific heat 0.910 joule/gram degree C) witha mass of 200 grams at 80.0 degree C is dropped into an insulatedcup with 100ml of water at 20.0 degree C. What is the finaltemperature of the water and aluminum? Hint: 1.000 calories=4.186Joules.
