Assume that the iron block is 175 g and that the beaker contains 75 m hot water, or 75 gince the density of water
is 1.00 if you heat the metal directly on the burner to
about 275°C and then place it in the room temperature (
25° C) water, the temperature of the combined water and
iron equilibrates at 75º C Note that the specific heat of
water is 4.182, J/g•C
Using these values, what is the specific heat of iron in
units of J/g•C? Please answer to the nearest 0.001
J
9 °C
