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...
