do it.? A 171.-g sample of gold at some temperature is placed into a constant-pressure calorimeter with 30.0 g of water at 25.0 degree Celsius. The final temperature in the calorimeter is 28.1 degree Celsius. If the specific heat of gold is 0.128 J/g degree celcius, what was the initial temperature of the gold? Note: The calorimeter has a negligible heat capacity.
**Recall the basic calorimetry equation: q=ms(T final - T initial)
and note that all the heat that leaves the gold will go into the water.
