Lab 16: Specific Heat of a Metal
For this lab, we were provided with an unidentified metal. To identify this metal, we heated it in a beaker of water and used the changes in the water temperature to identify the heat that the water gained and use the opposite as the energy that the metal lost to find the metal's specific heat. Once we calculated how much energy the metal lost, we found its mass and its temperature change. The specific heat we calculated was 0.17 g/jC, which would make our metal iron.
