Placed 150cm3 of water in a polystyrene cup and recorded the initial temperature of the water
Placed the metal in a water bath and heated it for approximately 10 minutes.
=100 °C-39 °C
=61 °C
=39 °C-32 °C
=7 °C
EH = mcΔθ
Heat energy = mass (m) x specific heat capacity(c) x change in temperature (Δθ)
Heat energy lost by the block = heat energy gained by the water
m (metal) x c (metal) x Δθ (metal) = m (water) x c (water) x Δθ (water)
