The sample of metal is heated to 100°C before it is added to the calorimeter. The calorimeter is allowed to sit for five minutes, and the temperature is monitored until the overall system (both water and metal) reaches thermal equilibrium at a temperature of 15.5°C. You are given an 80-gram sample of metal and a small calorimeter determine the specific heat of the sample. Before adding the sample, 150 grams of water are added to the calorimeter, and the starting temperature of the water is measured to be 14.1°C. You know that the specific heat of water is approximately 4.184 J/g C. Use the heat absorbed by the water to determine the specific heat of the metal.

explanation:

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
