ASAPPP. Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may
assume that the substance does not react with water. In your answer, make sure to include a
description of what equipment you would use and how you would interpret the data you collected.

Answer:

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample

Explanation:

I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat.

I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance.

I would heat the substance to a known temperature.

I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature.

I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change.

I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed.

I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.

Answer:

I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat. Then I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance. After that I would heat the substance to a known temperature. I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature. The coffee cup would be Styrofoam because it keeps the temperatures on the outside from getting on the inside and I would wait for the temperature to equilibrium, then I would calculate the temperature change. I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed. lastly, I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.
