A 185 gram sample of copper at 98.00C was added to 102 grams of water at 20.00C in a perfectly insulated calorimeter. The final temperature of the copper-water mixture was 31.20C. Calculate the specific heat of copper using this data.

pie chart because it is in percents ( % )

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

the sample of water at is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

on comparing the two samples of water at or we can say that at and at respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

hence, one can say that the sample of water at is greater than the sample of water at by .
