Heat Capacity?

A piece of copper wire at 98 C is placed in a calorimeter containing 300.0 g of water at 17.8 C. The final temp of the mixture is 19.1 C. The specific heat capacity of the calorimeter is 16.5 JK-1. Calculate the amss of the wire placed in the calorimeter.

Answer:
qCu = mCu sCu ( Tf - TCu )

qcal = Ccal ( Tf - Ti )

qw = mw sw ( Tf - Ti )
