Ahot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°c. 6.9 kj of heat is lost to the surroundings during the process. what was the initial temperature of the ball? (ciron = 0.444 j/g°c)
a) 23°c
b) 78°c
c) 100°c
d) 155°c

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.
