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 has dropped to 0.0 °C, it is found that
0.37 g of ice has melted. What is the specific heat capacity of platinum ? Heat of fusion of water = 333 J/g
So heat released by metal will be equal to the heat gained by ice to melt. Heat released is denoted with negative sign.
Use the formula of :
And calculate s which is specific heat capacity.
SO, s = 0.13 J/g°C
