A 0.300 kg piece of metal is heated to 88°C and placed in a copper calorimeter with mass 0.150 kg which contains 0.500 L of water
that are both initially at 12.6°C. Over a short period of time the mixture comes to an equilibrium temperature of 22.5°C,
what is the specific heat of the metal?
A) a. 1250 J/(kg ∙ °C)
B) b. 1075 J/(kg ∙ °C)
C) c. 1500 J/(kg ∙ °C)
D) d. 3400 J/(kg ∙ °C)
A piece of gold with a mass of 5.50 kg and density of 19300 kg/m3 is suspended from a string and then totally immersed in a
beaker of water. Using density of water is 1000 kg/m3
a) Determine the volume of the piece of gold.
b) Determine buoyant force on the gold when it is submersed.
