In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction. Thermometer Stirring rod A student heats 67.47 grams of tungsten to 97.57 C and then drops it into a cup containing 80.80 grams of water at 23.17 C. She measures the final temperature to be 25.14 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.84 J/C. Water Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of tungsten. Metal sample Specific Heat (W) = J/g C. 2003 Thom
