Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may assume
that the substance does not react with water. In your answer, make sure to include a description of what
equipment you would use and how you would interpret the data you collected.
DONE
) Intro

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample. I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance. I would heat the substance to a known temperature. I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature. I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change. I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed. I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.
