Lab 11A: Specific Heat of a Metal
Today, the purpose of the experiment was to determine the identity of a metal by determining its specific heat and comparing it to known metals. This can be calculated by measuring the difference in temperature between a boiling metal block, and a room temperature one. Now we can use the amount of energy we can calculate the specific heat by using amount of joules.

Metal A, our metal block, is most likely brass because the specific heat of brass is 380, which is closest to the specific heat that we found, 329.
