Specific Heat Purpose: The goal of this lab was to measure the specific heat of the brass. Procedure: It was a simple lab and fun. I did this lab alone help wasn’t really needed this time. There were no changes that needed to me made. The only part that confused me was the part where I needed to use the scale to measure my masses. I got stuck for a second trying to figure out where that part was in the lab, but I figured it out. By Destinee Santiago (2023) 1

Discussion: What is the greatest source of error in your experiment? A source of error could be heat loss to the surroundings during the experiment. From your results, does water or brass have a greater specific heat? Which had a greater temperature change given that they experienced the same heat flow? Cite numbers from your experiment to support your answer. Water has a greater specific heat compared to brass. When both water and brass experienced the same amount of heat the water had a greater temperature change. 1182 J / (71.53 * 6 ·° C). Aluminum has a specific heat of 0.900 J/( g·°C). Consider equal masses of brass and aluminum. If heated equally, which would undergo a greater temperature change? The aluminum will experience a greater temperature changed because it has the lower specific heat. By Destinee Santiago (2023) 6
