 INTRODUCTION
The first step to study role of heat in physical processes is to
understand calorimetry. When two systems or objects of different
temperature come into contact, energy in the form of heat is
transferred from the warmer system into cooler. This transfer of
heat raises the temperature of the cooler system and lowers the
temperature of the warmer system. Eventually the two system reach
the equilibrium state with common temperature and the heat
transfer stops.
SPECIFIC HEAT
The equation below states the law of energy conservation for a
metal sample come into contact with water with different
temperature, to attain an equilibrium system.
HEAT LOST BY SAMPLE = HEAT GAINED BY WATER + HEAT GAINED BY CALORIMETER
(Msample)(csample)(∆Tsample) = (Mwater)(cwater)(∆Twater) + (Mcalorimeter)(ccalorimeter)(∆Tcalorimeter)

Where,
Msample = mass of metal sample
Mwater = mass of water
∆Tsample = (Tsample-Tfinal)
∆Twater = (Tfinal-Twater)
∆Tcalorimeter = (Tfinal-Twater)
c = specific heat (sample/water/calorimeter)

 PROCEDURE
PROCEDURE DETAILS WORK
Measure Mcalorimeter, mass of the calorimeter you
will use (it should be empty and dry). Record the
result in the table.

Measure the masses of the aluminium, copper

and lead samples. Record the results in the table
in the row labelled Msample.

Attach a thread to each of the metal samples and

suspend each of the samples in boiling water.
Allow a few minutes for the samples to heat
thoroughly.

Fill the calorimeter approximately ½ full of cool

water at about 100 C below room temperature.
Use enough water to easily cover any one of the
metal samples.

Measure Tcool, the initial temperature of the cool

water, and Tsample, the initial temperature of the
sample. Record your measurement in the table.

Immediately following the temperature

measurement, remove the metal sample from
the boiling water, quickly wipe it dry, then
suspend it in the cool water in the calorimeter.
Stir the water with your thermometer and record
Tfinal. The highest temperature attained by the
water as it comes into thermal equilibrium with
the metal sample.

After taking the temperature, measure and

record Mtotal, the total mass of the calorimeter,
water and metal sample.

 DISCUSSION
Firstly, our group measured mass of calorimeter,
mass of aluminium, mass of copper and lead
sample. After that we attached a thread to each of
the metal samples and suspend each of the
sample in boiling water. We filled the calorimeter
1
approximately 2 full of cool water at about 10˚C
below temperature. We just follow the procedure
was given until we find the solution.
 CONCLUSION

At the last experiment, we are able to explain the

definition of temperature and heat. We can
describe thermal equilibrium and the zeroth law
of thermodynamics. We also can explain the
specific heat and the latent heat. We calculate a
problem of heat by using the calorimetry
principle. Last but least, we differentiate latent
heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization.
