Heat Capacity, Specific Heat, and Calorimetry

We can use coffee cups to do simple experiments to figure out how quickly different materials heat up and cool down. It's called calorimetry. Take a look!

    Hello guys, just to help you guys out the equations is missing negative in the calculation. To end up with the Ans: 2.19 J/g °C i thought i would simplify for those that may need it. Don't forget the metal is losing energy and the water or liquid is gaining energy 'joules' So :- Qmetal/metal DT " -850J /(4.82) (-80.5°C) = 2.190665189. COOL WELL EXPLAINED VIDEO THOUGH. hope this helped.

    I would much prefer you use the equality of heat lost = heat gained. q(water) = -q(metal) Thus you can be consistent in the determination of delta T as final T - initial T. Your video is really nice for an introduction to the concept of calorimetry but may be confusing when instructors discuss exothermic changes which are given a negative q or delta H.

Why did the water absorbed heat and has a negative value? 5. As a purity check for industrial diamonds, a 10.25-carat diamond (1 carat = 0.2000 g) is heated to 74.21 oC and immersed in 26.05 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water is 27.20 oC. If the specific heat of diamond is 0.519 J/g oC, what is the final temperature of the water?
