Compute the specific heat capacity of copper

Reference no: EM13310505

A 46.2 g sample of copper is heated to 95.4°C and then placed in a calorimeter containing 75.0 g water at 19.6°C. The final temperature of the metal and water is 21.8°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of copper, assuming that all the heat lost by the copper is gained by the water. Provide the Answer In: J/g·°C
