The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation, heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1) Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below, specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1)) Substituting, specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6)) The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.
What's wrong with this setup is the substrate on which you have positioned
the drop is "dirty and unclean" meaning it is not being dampened by
the solution. This action can be corrected by comprehensively cleaning the
substrate where the drop will be positioned.
