1.2. Activity: Measuring the Specific Heat of Brass In this activity, you will determine the specific heat of brass by placing hot brass into room- temperature water and measuring the temperature changes in both the brass and water. Procedure 1.2.1. Navigate to the window for the Lab 1a.cmbl LoggerPro experiment file. The workspace displays atemperature vs. time graph. 1. Click the Data Collection Button [ and set the Duration field to 120 seconds. Ensure the "Continuous Data Collection" box is unchecked. Pick up the brass cylinder and two insulating cups at your station, go to the counter in the back of the room, and do the following: 1. Using the digital scale, measure the mass of the brass cylinder. s of walr (wg> 00702 Mass of Brass Cylinder: 0.0 S_’ s (kg) 2. Pour a mass of room-temperature water equal to the mass of the brass cylinder into one insulating cup (Cold Cup). 3. Fill the second insulating cup (Hot Cup) with enough hot water to fill it halfway. Return to your station and do the following: 1. Place Probe 1, labeled "TP 1", in the Cold Cup. 2. Usingtongs, put the brass cylinder in the Hot Cup. (If the brass is not completely immersed, return to the back counter and add more hot water to the Hot Cup.) 3. Keepthetong tips immersed in the hot water. 4. Place Probe 2, labeled "TP 2", in the hole in the center of the brass cylinder. In LoggerPro, begin collecting data from the temperature probes by clicking the Collect Button ll. 1. Wait ten seconds and then use the tongs to lift both the brass cylinder and Probe 1 out of the Hot Cup and place them into the Cold Cup. Don't let the tongs contact the water in the Cold Cup.

1. Click on the plot you want to annotate. 2. Then,click Insert in the top menu bar and choose Text Annotation. An annotation box will appear on the graph. 3. If you need to move the annotation box or its line, hover the mouse over it until the ¥ cursor appears. Then, click and drag the box to the desired location. 4. Screenshot your plot. Take a screenshot of your plot using the Snipping Tool in Windows and save the screenshot to the Downloads folder. Include this screenshot in your assignment submission. Question 1.1: Use either the Statistics ¥2 or Examine Tool f to measure the following quantities from your temperature vs. time plot. (To apply the Statistics Tool to a specific region of a plot, first click and drag the cursor across that region, which will highlight it in grey. Then click the Statistics Tool.)

Question 1.4: When you transferred the brass from the Hot Cup to the Cold Cup, we instructed you not to let the tongs contact the water in the Cold Cup. Explain why thiswas a necessary step for this experiment. %B i a mw(fir 4 +th hat o~ e fwys 0({0(9"( Flt‘[(({ e menrrnd.
