Specific Heat and Calorimetry Labs
Today, we performed a lab in which you found the identity of a metal by determining its specific heat capacity. Some of you didn't finish; others were on a field trip and have yet to carry it out. We are going to do another lab on Wednesday in which we find the calories in a potato chip. There should be time for you to complete the specific heat lab and conduct the potato chip lab on Wednesday.
The specific heat of a metal lab is due on Friday, 12/5. The potato chip lab will be due on Monday, 12/8. We will learn about acids and bases on Thursday and Friday of this week.
