CHM121 E7 ADVANCE STUDY ASSIGNMENT Name: 1) A metal sample weighing 44.625 grams and at a temperature of 100.00C was placed in 35.278 grams of water contained in a calorimeter at 24.72C. At equilibrium, the temperature of the water and metal was 34.93C. What is the specific heat of the metal? What is the approximate atomic weight of the metal? Specific Heat = Atomic Weight 2) In the experiment we assume that the calorimeter is not only a good heat insulator, but also that it absorbs only a very small amount of heat from its contents. These are good approximations for our calorimeter, but some heat will actually be lost to the surroundings, and some will be absorbed by the thermometer. Would you expect that these effects would result in specific heat values that are larger or smaller than the true values? Why? Larger or smaller? Why
