Lab: Calorimetry
Laboratory Activity: Calorimetry: The Specific Heat of a Metal
Experimental Overview: The goal of the experiment is to determine the specific heat of a metal using a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter.
Equipment Used: Hot plate; beaker; boiling chips; spatula; balance; test tubes; Styrofoam coffee cup;
temperature probe; Vernier Go!Link interface; computer; graduated cylinder; test tube clamp
Analysis Performed: Create a graph of experimental temperature data; calculate the specific heat of a metal, using experimental data; calculate the specific
heat of a metal, using the Law of DuLong and Petit; calculate percent error of both specific heat values, based on accepted values
