Lesson Question: How can you determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter?
To do this computation for each of the four metals, you needed
several measurements.
v of the metal and the water
- First, you measured the

the metal and added it to water in the

12.459
- After heat transferred from the metal to the water, you measured
the

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
