# # C' $ 1 / 1 100% + A Experiment #9: Specific Heat of a Metal Instructions: This assignment is to be completed before arriving at the laboratory session and submitted to you instructor on the day you complete the related laboratory experiment. Questions: 1. What is the purpose of this laboratory experiment? (2 Pts) 2. What is the definition of specific heat? What is the units of specific heat? (2 Pts) 3. What is the specific heat of water? (1 Pts) 4. What is tl equation for the amount of heat absorbed or released? (1 Pts) 5. 6. When a hot metal is placed into cold water, what happens to the temperature of the metal? (2 Pts) When a hot metal is placed into cold water, what happens to the temperature of the water? (2 Pts) include quantities. (2 Pts) 7. Make a list of materials (chemicals) and equipment that are needed for this lab. Where applicable DO # # 6. When a hot metal is placed into cold water, what happens to the temperature of the water? (2 Pts) 7. Make a list of materials (chemicals) and equipment that are needed for this lab. Where applicable DO include quantities. (2 Pts) 8. The five measurements that must be made to determine the specific heat of a metal are given in a jumbled order. Read the procedure of the experiment to find out the proper order and write the corresponding step number in front of each measurement. (Step 1 is done for you) (3 Pts) Place the metal piece into the water of the calorimeter and measure the highest temperature reached by the water. This is the final temperature of both the metal and the water. The energy change of water is calculated by rearranging the specific heat equation. Determine the mass of the piece of metal Measure the temperature of the water in the calorimeter. This is the initial temperature of the water. Measure 50.0 mL of water and add to the calorimeter. Use density of water to calculate the mass of water Step 1 temperature of the metal. Heat the metal piece to a known temperature and measure this temperature precisely. This is the initial C
