Ametal 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.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy measured in a chemical reaction with the help of an apparatus known as calorimeter.

Therefore, when a metal sample is heated and placed into water then heat from the metal will transfer into the water. An when calorimeter is placed into the water then heat from the water will travel into the calorinmeter until the temperature of metal, water and calorimeter becomes equal.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature, best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample.

Energy transfer to metal to the water an calorimeter to they all reach a single tempture
