    1. This lab procedure aims to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal sample through calorimetry experiments and calculations using the equation Q=CmΔT. 2. The procedure involves measuring the temperature change of water when a heated metal sample is quickly transferred into it from boiling water. 3. Using the measured temperatures and known water properties, the heat transferred can be calculated for both the water and metal. Applying the principle that heat gained equals heat lost then allows calculating the unknown specific heat capacity of the metal.

    DeterminingtheSpecificHeatCapacityofanUnknownMetal

    (LabGuidelines:1,2,3,4,5&6[attachhandout],7,9,11,12)

    Purpose:TodeterminetheidentityofapieceofunknownmetalbyusingHeatGained=HeatLost,and
    theequationQ=CmTtocalculatethespecificheatcapacityofametal.
    IntroInfo:
    WhatisSpecificHeatCpacity?
    WhatdoesHeatGained=HeatLostmean?
    Materials:pieceofunknownmetal,Bunsenburner,ringstandringclamp,wiregauze,250mLbeaker,
    water,Styrofoamcup,crucibletongs,TemperatureProbe
    Procedure:
    1. Fillinthespecificheatcapacityofliquidwaterinyourdatatable.
    2. Usingthebalance,RECORDthemassofthepieceofmetal.
    3. Carefullyplacethemetalinanempty250mLbeaker.
    4. Fillthebeakerfulloftapwater.
    5. Setupringstand,clamp,wiregauzeandburner.Lightburner.
    6. Bringbeakerofwatertoasteadyboil.
    7. UsingthebalancetareaStyrofoamcupandpourinabout100gramsofwater.RECORDthe
    exactmassofthewater.
    8. Onethewaterinthebeakerisboilingsteadily,usethetemperatureprobe,toRECORDthe

    9. Usingtheprobe,nowRECORDthetemperatureofthewaterintheStyrofoamcup.Thisisthe
    initialtemperatureofthewaterinthecup.
    10. Usingcrucibletongs,transferthepieceofmetalfromtheboilingwaterintotheStyrofoamcupas
    quicklyaspossible.Stirthewaterwiththetemperatureprobeuntilthetemperatureremains
    constant.
