1) A piece of an unknown metal is placed in a coffee cup calorimeter as shown below in order to determine its specific heat. Data was collected and is shown in the table below. -Thermometer Mass of water 50.003 g Temperature of water 24.95 C Specific heat capacity for water 4.184 J/g C -Polystyrene Cover Mass of metal 63.546 g -Polystyrene Cups Temperature of metal 99.95°C Specific heat capacity for metal ? Final temperature 32.80°C `Stirrer a) Sketch a graph of temperature vs. time for both the metal and the water. b) Label on your graph the point at which thermal equilibrium has been established. c) Use the information in the data table to calculate the specific heat of the metal.
