There are three metals that have this specific heat cast iron, chromium and iron. You have to check the physical characteristics of the metal you used in your lab to determine which out of the three is the correct one.

Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
What is a method for determining the specific heat for a metal like sodium which reacts with water?
Distillation
Does copper have a higher specific heat than water?
The specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1 The specific heat of copper 385 J kg-1 K-1. So the answer is no.
What is the specific heat of copper at STP?
what is the specific heat for copper
What is the specific heat capacity of a 50 gram piece of 100 degrees celsius metal that will change 400 grams of 20 degrees celsius water to 22 degrees celsius?
== == This answer is taken straight off yahoo answers and I thought it would be helpful to "spread the wealth." here it is. change in temperature of metal, 75 - 18.3 = 56.7 'C change in temperature of water, 18.3 - 15 = 3.3 'C energy gained by water, assuming Cp water = 4.1813 J/g/'C using the formula, Q = mCp(theta) where, Q = energy in Joules m = mass in grams Cp = specific heat capacity in J/g/'C theta = change in temperature in 'C 3.3 * 150 * 4.1813 = 2.06974 kJ energy gained by water = energy dissipated by metal using the formula, Q = mCp(theta) and solving for Cp Cp of metal = 2.06974 k / 56.7 *150 = 0.2434 J/g/'C
Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
Which metal has the lowest specific heat capacity?
Gold has the lowest specific heat capacity.
Why metal feels cold but wood warm?
The answer lies in a property called "specific heat". Specific heat describes the amount of energy needed to raise a material's temperature by one degree. Metal has a low specific heat, so it warms up fast and cools fast. Wood has a higher specific heat, so these processes are slower. In both cases, heat (energy) is transferred from your hand to the wood/metal, but since this happens faster with metal, it feels colder.
What is meant by the specific heat of a metal?
at least 1 kelvin
If a student was transferring metal to a calorimeter and water splashes out will it affect the specific heat of the metal?
yes, if there is not enough water the heat will be affected because not as much heat can be held.
What is the specific heat of other common materials?
Much lower. Consider water's superior ability to retail heat and compare that with a metal's rapid heat gain. It takes more energy to increase the temperature of water than to heat the metal of pot (as you will no doubt know if you have burned yourself on hot metal).
What metal will have the highest temperature with specific heat of aluminum 0.215 copper 0.092 and silver of 0.057?
I would like to start off by saying that: Energy absorbed by metal = mass of metal x specific heat capacity of metal x change in temperature of the metal If the same amount of energy is given to all three metals, there would be the highest temperature increase in the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity. Therefore, Silver would be the answer.
Water has a relatively low specific heat?
The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.
Why is a measured amount of water needed to determine the specific heat of a metal object?
Because the heat energy absorbed or released by the water is dependent on the mass of the water. q=m x c x delta T The equation tells you that you need a mass, a specific heat and a change in temperature to figure out the specific heat of the metal.
A 14.8g piece of metal is warmed so that its temperature increases by 7.58 degrees celsius.how much heat was transferred into it?
It depends on what the metal is. Different materials have different specific heats and will take various amount of energy to heat up. You need to find the specific heat of the metal used. Use Q=CmT Q=amount of energy C=specific heat m=mass T=change in temp
The temperature of a piece of unknown metal with a mass of 18.0 g increases from 25.0 degrees C to 40 degrees C when the metal absorbs 124.2 J of heat What is the specific heat of the unknown metal?
Without stating units, it is impossible to answer this question accurately. However, the equation you would need is q=mc∆T, where q is the heat flow (the 53.0 listed, likely Joules), m is the mass of the unknown metal (11.1, likely grams), c is the specific heat of the metal (the unknown you need to solve for), and ∆T is the change in temperature of the metal (24.1-13.0, likely Celcius). Rearranged to solve for specific heat, the question is c=q/m∆T.
Why metal good conductors of heat?
Because the electrons of the atoms in the metal move freely and are not attached to one specific atom.
