Now, we are also given a T initial of 23 degrees Celsius and a T final of 31 one degree Celsius. Our specific heat capacity for both guys is 4.18
joules per gram times Celsius. We want to find our goal is to find the change in enthalpy or change in energy of our solution. So we take our coffee cup calorimeter, we mix the two different types of compounds. We wait a little. We wait for the observed change in temperature to occur, and we have to calculate the change in energy that corresponds to that change in temperature.
