Hi,
I don't remember how to do calorimetry. All I remember is setting them equal to each other and using q=nmCdelta T but I'm not entirely sure if this is correct. I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through the steps! Thank you!

Re: Calorimetry
1. Understand the formula q=mcΔT.
2. Identify what you're solving for (heat q, mass m, specific heat capacity c, or temperature change ΔT).
3. Gather all necessary information: mass, specific heat capacity, initial temperature, and final temperature.
4. Substitute the known values into the q=mcΔT equation.
5. Solve for the unknown variable.
6. Consider the surroundings: the heat lost by one part of the system is gained by another.
hope this helps
