Given: Mass of Gold (g) -51.1557 g Volume of H2O (mL) - 100mL Mass of H2O (g) - 99.8g Initial Temperature of H2O (degrees Celsius) - 25 degrees Celsius Initial Temperature of Gold (degrees Celsius) - 200 degrees Celsius Max temp of H2O + metal (degrees Celsius) - 27.23 degrees Calculate: The change in temperature: The heat (q) in J gained by the water using the following equation: The changes in temperature of the metal: Remembering that the heat gained by the water is equal to the heat lost by the metal, calculate the specific heat of metal in J/g degrees Celsius. The percent error in the specific heat value that you determined experimentally. The accepted value for the metal is Au= 0.126 J/g degrees Celsius.
**Calculation of Temperature Change and Specific Heat**

1. **Calculate the Change in Temperature of the Water (\( \Delta T_{\text{water}} \)):**
   \[
   \Delta T_{\text{water}} = T_p - T_i
   \]

2. **Calculate the Heat (\( q \)), in Joules, Gained by the Water:**
   Use the equation:
   \[
   q_{\text{water}} = m_{\text{water}} \times \Delta T_{\text{water}} \times C_{\text{water}}
   \]

3. **Calculate the Change in Temperature of the Metal (\( \Delta T_{\text{metal}} \)):**
   \[
   \Delta T_{\text{metal}} = T_p - T_i
   \]

4. **Calculate the Specific Heat of the Metal:**
   Since the heat gained by water is equal to the heat lost by the metal:
   \[
   q_{\text{water}} = -q_{\text{metal}} = m_{\text{metal}} \times \Delta T_{\text{metal}} \times C_{\text{metal}}
   \]
   Therefore, the specific heat, \( C_{\text{metal}} \), is:
   \[
   C_{\text{metal}} = q_{\text{metal}} / (m_{\text{metal}} \times \Delta T_{\text{metal}})
   \]

5. **Calculate the Percent Error in the Specific Heat Value:**
   Compare the experimentally determined specific heat with the accepted value:
   \[
   \text{Accepted value for the metal is} \, Au = 0.126 \, \text{J/g°C}
   \]

This serves as a step-by-step guide for determining the changes in temperature and calculating specific heat, essential in understanding thermal transfer processes.
