Lab: Calorimetry and Specific Heat Answers

Mass of aluminum: g

Mass of copper: g

Mass of iron: g

Mass of lead: g

(metal) = – °C

Tare the balance. Put calorimeter (no lid) on the balance. Measure the mass to the nearest 0.01 g. g

Initial temperature of metal = °C

Tare the balance. Put calorimeter (no lid) on the balance. Measure the mass to the nearest 0.01 g. g

Initial temperature of metal = °C

Final temperature of both = °C

Tare the balance. Put calorimeter (no lid) on the balance. Measure the mass to the nearest 0.01 g. g

Initial temperature of metal = °C

(metal) = – °C

Use your data, the equation to the right, and the specific heat of water (4.184 J/g°C) to compute the specific heat values of each metal. Use a calculator and round to the nearest hundredth place.Aluminum: c = J/g°C
