You need to know the specific heat for copper. Then use q = mc∆T for copper and water. Heat lost by the copper MUST equal heat gained by the water. You can then solve for T2 of the water.

Why the brass need to be immersed in the boiling water before place it in the calorimeter?

The brass needs to be immersed in the boiling water for a sufficient enough time that its temperature is the same as the boiling water, 100 degrees Celsius. That will be the initial temperature of the brass. After it is quickly placed in the calorimeter which will contain much cooler water, causing the brass to cool down and the water to heat up until the point where the temperature no longer changes. At that point the temperature of the brass is the same temperature as the water in the calorimeter, which is its final temperature of the brass.


What are the limitations of saparating and throttling calorimeter?

What is the average room temperature in kilograms?

The kilogram (kg) is a unit of mass, and cannot be applied to temperature. However, room temperature is generally regarded as 20 degrees Celsius, which is 68 degrees Fahrenheit, or 293 kelvins.

Meter that measures amounts of heat?

Unfortunately it is not the Calorimeter, which is used to measure energy, the measurement of the calorie was replaced by the Joule. The calorie/kilo-calorie was the measurement of the amount of energy need to cause a 1 degree temperature increase in one gram/kilogram of water. A Thermometer, which contains mercury that responds predictably to heat either by expanding or contracting, is the meter used for measuring the heat it is exposed to whether it be atmospheric, oceanic, direct heat or radiant heat, internal or external heat. A Thermometer measures heat or the lack of in Degrees on two different scales Centigrade and Fahrenheit.
