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

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.

@wolfe8

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup. It's basically just plugging in the values into the formulas

anonymous · Answer

But what ones do I plug in?

wolfe8 · Answer

m is mass, c is specific heat capacity, delta T is the change in temperature

anonymous · Answer

ah okay, im so confused but thank you

wolfe8 · Answer

You will have to do it with your data. We don't know the experiment data.
