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 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.
