Answer:
all of the above
Explanation:
the first law of thermodynamics (heat lost by a metal equals the heat gained by the water)
the ability of heat to flow from a hot object to a cooler one
masses for the metal and the water in the calorimeter
temperature changes for the water and the metal
the known specific heat of the water
good luck!
For the computation of specific heat of metal in a calorimeter, all the items have been used.
The specific heat has been the amount of heat that has been required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance, by 1 degree Celsius. The computation of specific heat (c) has been performed as:
[tex]c_m_e_t_a_l=\dfrac{-c_w_a_t_e_r\;m_w_a_t_e_r\;\Delta T_w_a_t_e_r}{m_m_e_t_a_l\;\Delta T_m_e_t_a_l}[/tex]
Where, c has been specific heat
m has been the mass
[tex]\Delta T[/tex] has been the change in temperature
The computation of specific heat follows the first law of thermodynamics with heat gain by water has been equal to heat lost by the metal. This has been performed as energy has been flown from the hotter object to the cooler object.
The computation has been required the known values for the mass, change in temperature of metal and water. The specific heat of water has also been required for the computation.
Thus, for the computation of specific heat of metal in a calorimeter, all the items have been used.
