Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction: A student heats 62.36 grams of iron to 98.98C and then drops it into a cup containing 82.98 grams of water at 22.47C. She measures the final temperature to be 27.90C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.63J/C. Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of iron. Specific Heat (Fe)= 6 more group attempts remaining
