A student doing an experiment pours 0.500 kg of heated metal whose temperature is 98.0 °C into á 0.347 kg aluminum calorimeter cup containing 0.279 kg of water at 28.0 °C. The mixture (and the cup) comes to thermal equilibrium at 38.0 °C. The specific heat of the metal is J/kg °C. (specific heat of aluminum = 900 J/kg °C, specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg °C)

A piece of metal, with a low specific heat capacity, and an equally massive piece of concrete, with a high specific heat capacity, are set on a very large block of ice. Which of these objects will melt the most ice before cooling to 0°C? The piece of metal The piece of concrete Since they are at the same temperature, they will melt the same amount of ice.

The specific heat capacity of a pure substance can be found by dividing the heat needed to change the temperature of a sample of the substance by the mass of the sample and by the change in temperature. The heat capacity of a certain substance has been measured to be 1.35J/g.°C Suppose 154. g of the substance are heated until the temperature of the sample has changed by 43.6 °C. Write an equation that will let you calculate the heat Q that was needed for this temperature change.
