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

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.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
