A 149.5-g sample of a metal at 75.5°C is added to 149.5 g H₂O at 15.6°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.1°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C.g. Specific heat capacity = 0.056 J/°C-g

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 110.0 mL of 1.2 M
NaOH and 110.0 mL of 1.2 M
HCl are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 22.5°C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 30.5°C. Assuming that all the solutions have a density
of 1.0
