When you are satisfied with your responses, click the SUBMIT button at the bottom of this page. 1.In the first part of this lab, you will add a sample of an unknown material (mass ms) to a calorimeter (mass mcal) containing water (mass mw). The specific heats of these are cs), ccal), and cw), respectively. The termperature of the sample is initially Ta and that of the water and calorimeter are Tb. You will measure the final termparature of the combined system, Tf. Please derive an equation to find the specific heat of the sample. Type your equation below.2.In your own words, what is the difference between heat and temperature?
3.A bucket of mixed ice and water sits on the
floor in a warm room. The ice melts over a period
of two hours. During this period, which of the
