Southern Union State Community College Specific Heat of Metal Lab Report

Description

PROCEDURE:
1) Print Blank Report or type the blank report exactly the same” used as a lab report. Watch the video to get your data for the blank data report!

All the directions below have been done for you in the Specific Heat of a Metal Video. Watch the video as you read the directions. All of your data will come from the video.

2) Record the room temperature. The water in the faucet has been setting in this room for some time and is at room temperature.

3) Drag the styrofoam cup over to the balance and note its mass. Move the cup to the sink and fill it about 2/3 full of water. Return the cup to the balance and note its mass. You will need at least 100 grams of water.(don’t forget to subtract the mass of the cup) Record this mass of water. Don’t fill the cup too much since you must leave room for the metal cube later on.

4) Drag the cube of metal to the balance and record its mass.

5) Drag the beaker over to the sink and fill 2/3 full with water. Drop the metal cube into the beaker and then drop in the thermometer. Place the beaker on the hot plate, turn on the hot plate and slide the control lever to the right. You are now heating up the water and metal cube to a high level.

6) When the temperature of the water stops rising, record this value as the initial temperature of the metal. This hot plate does not have quite enough power to make water boil!

7) Take the thermometer from the hot beaker and place it on the table. The table will transfer the heat from the thermometer quickly and return it to room temperature. Transfer the metal cube from the hot water to the cup. Place the thermometer on the cup. Note that the temperature of the water heats up as energy is transferred from the metal cube.

8) When the temperature stops climbing, record this value as the final temperature of metal and water. NOTE: the thermometer and container itself have their own specific heat and would slightly effectour outcome. Styrofoam is an excellent insulator and would have little effect and the mass of the thermometer exposed to the water is small, thus we will ignore their presence.

9) Calculate the requested values asked for on the lab sheet. https://suscc.instructure.com/courses/1459143/files/70400541/download?verifier=3ZV2co7h6Da31rAyovLWWR30Ub2PhtFNAsi6yhml&wrap=1
