Activity No. 4 Worksheet Calorimetry and Specific Heat Data, Results, and Calculations: Complete The Table Below, Assume That The Metal Used Is Iron

This document contains the results of a calorimetry lab experiment. It includes data collected on the weight of the calorimeter and water, initial and final temperatures, weight of the metal sample, and calculated values for heat absorbed by the calorimeter, water, and metal sample. The experimental specific heat of the metal (iron) was calculated to be 0.460 J/g°C, which matches the theoretical value exactly. Guide questions ask about stirring the calorimeter contents, safely transferring the hot metal, and possible reasons for differences between experimental and theoretical values.
