Questions: 1. Calculate the specific heat of your sample. Do this on a piece of paper (or drawpad), take a picture of your work, and include that picture here. 2. What was the specific heat of your sample? 3. Using the table on the next page, determine which material your sample is: object Mo Tia Mw Tin Cw water Co lid Inner Aluminum can Figure: Your Calorimeter setup Experiment: The experimental setup is shown in the above figure: A calorimeter with two cans; the inner aluminum can holds the water and must be accounted for in your calculations, the outer can helps insulate the inner can from the ambient temperature. Cylindrical objects made of an unknown materials will be heated to the temperature of boiling water and then placed in to different inner cans. By measuring the temperature of the boiling water we can closely approximate the temperature of the unknown materials. The sample is quickly removed from the boiler, placed it into the calorimeter, and secured with the lid on the calorimeter. The final temperature of the water is then recorded, which is also the final temperature of the sample and of the aluminum can.
