Complete Question

A sample of aluminum, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.897 JB loc ! is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 200.0 g of water. The aluminum sample starts off at 85.6 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 16.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 20.1 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the aluminum sample.

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Heat Capacity

Mass of water

Initial Temperature of Aluminium

Initial Temperature of Water

Final Temperature of Water  

Generally

Heat loss=Heat Gain

Therefore

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.
