Heat capacity calculation, Chemistry HELP PLEASE!!!?

Posted on 2016-11-24 18:10:00 in Chemistry by HEMBRAM

Done the experiments but have NO idea about calculations, because I missed the corresponding lecture... 

This is the data obtained in the lab: 
Mass of empty calorimeter 6.42 g. 
Mass of calorimeter & water 55.3 g. 
Initial temperature of water 21.3 C 
Final temperature of water 15.28 C 
Mass of calorimeter, water & ice 59.08 g. 
Calculated mass of ice 3.78 g. 
Delta T (warm water) ? 
Delta T (ice water) ? 


I need to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter by 
1) Calculate the energy required to melt ice. One mole of ice requires 6010 J to melt 
2) Calculate the energy absorbed by the ice water as it warms up to Tfinal 
3) Calculate the energy lost by the warm water as it cools down to Tfinal 
4) Calculate the energy lost by the calorimeter as it cools to Tfinal (Hint: what should all these heats add to give?) 
5) Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. Give your answer in J/C
