In this experiment you will increase the temperature of metal specimens to that of boiling water. Then you’ll place each specimen in a double Styrofoam cup that contains room temperature water. The specimen will and cool and the water temperature will rise until both are at the same temperature. Or the heat loss by the metal is equal to that of the heat gain by the water. Specific heat (c) is the quantity of heat (Q) per mass (m) per change in temperature (T). For water for example its specific heat is equal to
