Homework Statement
I'm asked to find the specific heat of Metal X in this simulation:
http://group.chem.iastate.edu/Greenbowe/sections/projectfolder/flashfiles/thermochem/heat_metal.html
Mass of Metal X = 120 g
Temp of Metal X = 220 degrees
Mass of Water = 30 g
Initial Temp of Water = 20 degrees
Final Temp of Water = 85.6 degrees
Specific Heat of Water = 4.186 J/gram C
Homework Equations
ΔQ = mCpΔT is the equation for finding the heat needed to change the temperature.
The Attempt at a Solution
Qwater = mwater*cpwater*change in temperature
Qwater = 30*4.186*65.6
Qwater = 8238.048 J
I think the Q of the metal would be -8238.048 J. I'm not sure what to do from there.
