Document Summary
Purpose: to determine the specific heat of a copper cylinder, and aluminum shots. 2: reassemble the calorimeter by placing the inner vessel and stirrer in the outer vessel and placing the cover on it. Place a thermometer through the cover into the water. 10. when the aluminum reaches 85o c, carefully record the temperature of the cold water in the inner vessel and the exact temperature of the aluminum. 11. quickly pour the hot shot into the calorimeter. Be careful not to let the bulb of the thermometer get into the aluminum, but hold it in the water just above the aluminum. 13. wait two minutes, stir the water a final time, and record the equilibrium temperature of the water. 14. after the equilibrium temperature is recorded, remove water from inner vessel. 15. place the aluminum on a paper towel to dry and dry the inner vessel. Do not place the aluminum back in its container. Cs = specific heat of sample (j/kg oc)
