im doing a calorimeter experiment and need to find the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter, but always gets a negative answer.
Initial temp = 23 C
Final temp = 60 C
Change in temp = 37 C
Mass of calorimeter = 0.027645kg
Mass of water = 0.1kg
Specific heat capacity water = 4200
Specific heat capacity calorimeter = ?
Heat supplied = 6349.551J (using q= VxIxT =7.93x1.57x510)
i assume you find by q(total)=q(cal)+q(water)
