M EASURING S PECIFIC H EAT C APACITY 1.Start with a calorimeter containing a known amount of cold liquid. 2.Heat the metal block of known mass to a known temperature and transfer it to the calorimeter. 3.Measure how much the temperature of the liquid rises. 4.From this, calculate how much thermal energy was gained by the liquid and lost by the metal. 5.Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
