    This document describes two experiments to determine the specific heat capacity of brass and a mystery metal. In the first experiment, brass and water are used to calculate the specific heat capacity of brass as 350 J/(kg.°C), with a percent error of 7.9% compared to the accepted value of 380 J/(kg.°C). In the second experiment, the mystery metal and water are used to calculate the specific heat capacity of the mystery metal as 380.8 J/(kg.°C), which rounds to 3.9×102 J/(kg.°C).
