Lab: Calorimetry and Specific Heat Answers

Do you have a copy of the Student Guide for this lab, including your data table?

Use a graduated cylinder to add approximately 40 mL of water to the calorimeter. Measure the mass of the calorimeter (no lid) and water to the nearest 0.01 g. g

Subtract to find the mass of the water. g

Record in the data table. Observe the increase in temperature every60 seconds for 300 seconds. The temperature at 300 seconds (5 minutes) is thefinal temperature of both the metal and the water.Record it to the nearest 0.1°C in the data table. Raise the thermometer and lid slightly and add themetal to the calorimeter. Click lid start stop reset 00 : 00

(metal) = – °C
