Questions 05-06:
A 100.0 g sample of aluminum metal is heated to 80.00°C and then immersed in a relatively cold water bath that contains 0.1000 kg of water until thermal equilibrium is established.
The specific heat capacity of water is known to be 4.200 J/g°C, and the apparatus is considered to be perfectly insulated (no energy losses are observed to either the atmosphere or the apparatus itself). The following data are collected.
Question 05:
According to the data, which of the following is the correct set-up for the calculation of the specific heat capacity of Al, if it is assigned a value of x?
