AP Chemistry
6.4 Heat Capacity and Calorimetry
A student places a sample of hot water with a mass of \(50.0 \text{ g}\) at \(70.0^\circ\text{C}\) into a calorimeter. The water cools to room temperature, \(20.0^\circ\text{C}\). Assuming the specific heat capacity of water is \(4.2 \text{ J/(g}\cdot^\circ\text{C)}\), what is the magnitude of the thermal energy transferred from the water as it cools?
