Show your work and write a short explanation with each calculation.
Part I:
1. Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation
qwater = m × c × ΔT.
We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.
The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So, qwater = qmetal
2. Using the formula qmetal = m × c × ΔT, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Use the data from your experiment for the metal in your calculation.
Part II:
1. Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation
qwater = m × c × ΔT.
We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL. Show ALL your work.
The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So, qwater = qunknown metal
2. Using the formula qunknown metal = m × c × ΔT, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Use the data from your experiment for the unknown metal in your calculation. Show ALL your work.
