The Specific Heat of a Metal Using Constant Pressure Calorimeter | 11th Class Chemistry

Here is a constant pressure calorimeter. Made from 2 cups made from Styrofoam to isolate heat in a container. A stirrer for stirring the solution. A thermometer for measuring temperature. And liquid, think of it as water. Water can release or absorb heat. So that the temperature can go up or down. In this series, we will calculate the specific heat of a metal

As an illustration:
A copper metal with mass of 15 grams at 97 °C is put into the constant pressure calorimeter. Temperature of 100 milliliter water increasel from 23 °C to 24 °C. The question is, what is the specific heat of copper?
