The specific heat of a metal is determined by heating the weighed metal, adding it to water in a calorimeter, and measuring the temperature change. The specific heat of water is 4.180 Joules per g per ÂșC. The data collected are as follows:
Grams of water in the calorimeter 47.32
Grams of metal 16.34
Initial temperature of metal 100.32
Initial temperature of water (ÂșC) 22.31
Maximum temperature of water after metal is added (ÂșC) 23.92
Calculate the following:
Specific heat of metal (keep two decimal places)
