Hi Im having a hard time coming up with the experimental value of the specific
heat of water. The experiment I did was putting ice into cup of warm water and measuring the initial and final mass/temp.
the following is the data:
Mass of dry cup: 3.434g
Mass of cup with warm water: 58.997g
Initial Temperature: 24.2 C
Final mass of cup and water(after ice has been added and allowed to melt): 63.336
Final Temperature: 17.3 C
Can someone help me though the problem?
