What is the capacity of the calorimeter?
« on: November 07, 2019, 01:46:28 PM »
Please, help. I  need to solve this. I want to understand it. What is the equation I need and how do I plug this data into it? Thank you so much!

You are performing the calibration step of this experiment and you begin with 50 g of water at 20°C and 50 g of water at 80°C. After adding the two in your calorimeter setup and following the procedure outlined in the experiment, you determine the temperature of the mixed solutions to be 45°C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?

Can you try to write heat balance equation of the system? What is losing, what is gaining the heat?
