Initial temperature of water = °C

Initial temperature of water = °C

(metal) = – °C

Initial temperature of water = °C

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

Initial temperature of water = °C

Copper: c = J/g°C

Subtract to find the mass of the water. g

Final temperature of both = °C

Subtract to find the mass of the water. g

Final temperature of both = °C

Subtract to find the mass of the water. g

Final temperature of both = °C

Subtract to find the mass of the water. g

Final temperature of both = °C

Iron: c = J/g°C

Subtract to find the temperature changes for the water and the metal. (water) = °C

Subtract to find the temperature changes for the water and the metal. (water) = °C

Subtract to find the temperature changes for the water and the metal. (water) = °C

(metal) = – °C
