Consider a sample of material with an unknown specific heat capacity. One way to
determine the specific heat capacity is to heat the sample of material to some
temperature (without melting it) and to place it in some amount of a fluid inside an
aluminum calorimeter cup (a device used to thermally isolate its contents).Glass
thermometers are used to record temperatures.From the list below, select the quantities
that you would need to know to be able to calculate the specific heat capacity of the
sample of material.
The mass of the fluid in the calorimeter cup.
The specific heat capacity of the fluid.
The initial temperature of the sample of material
The initial temperature of the fluid.
The mass of the sample of material.
The final temperature of the sample+fluid mixture.
