In a calorimetry experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal block, the following data was recorded: Quantity Mass of the metal block 0.50 kg Mass of empty calorimeter + Stirrer 0.06 kg Mass of calorimeter + stirrer + water 0.20 kg Mass of water 0.14 kg Initial Temperature of metal block 55.5 ⁰C Initial Temperature of water and calorimeter 22 ⁰C Final Temperature of block- water system 27.4 ⁰C Take the specific heat capacity of water to be 4186 J/Kg °C. The calorimeter and stirrer are made of Copper. Specific heat capacity of Copper is 387 J/Kg °C. Ignore the mass of the stirrer. Use the data and the information given to: a) Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal block. (Please show ALL work for full credit) b) From your result above, what is the metal block probably made up of? c) Calculate the final temperature of the block – water system if the mass of the water in the calorimeter is increased to 0.50 kg (the same as the mass of the metal block).

An ice “calorimeter” can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal. A piece of hot metal is dropped onto a weighed quantity of ice. The energy transferred from the metal to the ice can be determined from the amount of ice melted. Suppose you heat a 9.36-g piece of platinum to 98.6 °C in a boiling water bath and then drop it onto ice at 0.0 °C. When the temperature of the metal...

Heat Capacity Learning Goal: To understand the concepts of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity. Heat capacity, C, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. The energy needed to warm an object increases as the mass of that object increases. We see this in our everyday life. For example, we know that it takes much more energy to heat a large tank of water than a small...
