Specific Heat of a Metal

The assumption is made that the initial temperature of the metal is 100oC after being in the boiling water for at least 5 minutes.

Trial #1
Enter mass of water g.
Enter mass of metal g.
Initial temperature of water oC
Maximum temperature of water + metal oC
Trial #2
Enter mass of water g.
Enter mass of metal g.
Initial temperature of water oC
Maximum temperature of water + metal oC
