I'm given:
mass metal
temp metal
mass cool water
temp water
final temp (after insertion of metal)
(note: this is in a styrofoam cup calorimeter)
I need to find the amount of heat lost by the metal, qmetal.
The only hint is:
qmetal = - (qwater + qcalorimeter).
Desperately tried, can't figure it out.
I know by q = mc deltaT that the qwater is 4.1... J, but can't figure out what qcalor is!
