How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter

One can determine the specific heat of the metal through using the clarimeter, water, thermometer and using heat equations.

Explanation:

You can learn about heat effects and calorimetery through a simple experiment by boiling water and heating up the metal in it. Then, pour it into your calorimeter and the heat will flow from the metal to the water. The two equlibria will meet: the metal will loose heat into its surroundings (the water) and teh water will absorb the heat. The heat flow for the water is the same as it is for the metal, the only difference being is the negative sign indicating the loss of the heat of the metal.

In terms of theromdynamics, we can deteremine the heat flow for the metal becasue it would be equal to the mangnitued but opposite in direction. Thus, we can say that the specific heat of water qH2O = -qmetal.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
