Mass of the metal, m = 0.20 kg = 200 g
Initial temperature of the metal, T1 = 150°C
Final temperature of the metal, T2 = 40°C
Calorimeter has water equivalent of mass, m’ = 0.025 kg = 25 g
Volume of water, V = 150 cm3
Mass (M) of water at temperature T = 27°C:
150 × 1 = 150 g
Fall in the temperature of the metal:
ΔT = T1 – T2 = 150 – 40 = 110°C
Specific heat of water, Cw = 4.186 J/g/°K
Specific heat of the metal = C
Heat lost by the metal, θ = mCΔT … (i)
Rise in the temperature of the water and calorimeter system:
ΔT′’ = 40 – 27 = 13°C
Heat gained by the water and calorimeter system:
Δθ′′ = m1CwΔT’
= (M + m′) Cw ΔT’ … (ii)
Heat lost by the metal = Heat gained by the water and colorimeter system
mCΔT = (M + m’) Cw ΔT’
200 × C × 110 = (150 + 25) × 4.186 × 13
∴ C = (175 × 4.186 × 13) / (110 × 200) = 0.43 Jg-1K-1
If some heat is lost to the surroundings, then the value of C will be smaller than the actual value.

Given below are observations on molar specific heats at room temperature of some common gases. Observations The measured molar specific heats of these gases are markedly different from those for monatomic gases. Typically, molar specific heat of a monatomic gas is 2.92 cal/mol K.
