II. METHODOLOGY
We first prepared the materials needed which are
the Calorimeters, Water, Thermometer, Weighing Scale,
Thread, Cold Water, Electric Steam Generator, and
samples of Aluminum, Copper, and Lead.
After the preparation of the materials, the
Electric Steam Generator is filled halfway with tap water

Immediately
after
recording
the
final
temperature, the mass of the water is then computed by
subtracting the total mass of the calorimeter, metal sample,
and the water, with the mass of the calorimeter and the
metal sample. This process can be represented by Equation
(2).
