is
the
initial
temperature of the metal, mwater is the
total mass of water present in the
calorimeter, Cmwater is the specific heat
of
water,
Tiwater
is
the
initial
temperature of water and T f is the final
temperature as the two objects
reaches thermal equilibrium. The
computation of the mass specific heat
of a specific metal can be used in
determining its purity based on the
percent error attained during the
experiment.
