A calorimeter consists of 400g of water at 2 4 ° C . A 500g piece of copper at 1 0 0 ° C is thrown into the water and the equilibrium temperature is found to be 3 6 . 5 ° C .  What is the molar heat capacity of copper in cal/mol k, given that 1 mol of copper has a mass of 63.5g? Neglect the heat capacity of the container.

400 * 1 * 12.5 = 500 * 5 * (100 – 36.5)

S = 1 0 6 3 . 5 c a l / g m ° C        

1 g m = 1 6 3 . 5 m o l  

S = 10 cal/mol °C
