This experiment outlines a procedure for determining the specific heat of various metals using a simple Styrofoam cup calorimeter. The primary goal is to identify an unknown metal object and a common coin by calculating their specific heat. Participants will learn to measure heat transfer between water and a metal object, using the principles of calorimetry where heat lost by one substance equals heat gained by another. The process involves measuring initial and final temperatures of water and metal, along with their masses, to apply specific heat equations. Ultimately, the calculated specific heat values are then compared to known values to identify the metals.
