Lesson Question: How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter?

To do this computation for each of the four metals, you needed several measurements.

▪ First, you measured the
of the metal and the water inside the calorimeter.
▪ Then, you
the metal and added it to water in the calorimeter.
▪ After heat transferred from the metal to the water, you measured the
of both materials.
