Find out the experimental heat capacity of a calorimeter

Reference no: EM13564586

One way to experimentally measure the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter would be to melt a known mass of ice in warm water and measure the temperature change. Use the data below to determine the experimental heat capacity of a calorimeter. Use the literature heat of fusion for ice in your calculations. Assume the ice added is at 0.0C.

Mass of ice added: 17.69g
Mass of water in calorimeter: 98.67g
T-Initial of water: 28.7
T-Final of water after melting ice: 12.9C
