A piece of solid material of specific heat c unknown is weighed with a balance, m resulting in its mass. The piece is put in almost boiling water at temperature T.
M grams of water are put on the calorimeter, it is stirred and after a short time, its temperature T0 is measured.
The solid part is quickly deposited in the calorimeter. It is stirred, and after a certain time the equilibrium temperature Te is reached.
The data is recorded and c is cleared of the formula that's attached (please take a look).
<span>My only guess is obtain a metal and heat it in a boiling water bath (of known temperature) this will be your initial temperature. Now obtain a calorimeter cup with water of known temperature as well. Place the metal into the calorimeter cup and record the temperature after 5 minutes. You now have delta T, mass of the metal, and Q. Solve for C.
The uniqueness of the plasma state is due to the importance of electric and magnetic forces that act on a plasma in addition to such forces as gravity that affect all forms of matter.
