Question

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample? Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature. Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calorimetry is the process that is used to determine the amount of heat that has been transferred in any process. In any chemical or physical process, the amount of energy is required. This energy is measured by the process of calorimetry. A calorimeter is a device that is used in this process. The heat that has been used in the process is measured and the change in the temperature is noted.
