On the computer, use the temperature versus time graph to calculate the maximum rate of thermal energy
transfer for each trial.

Does the maximum rate of thermal energy transfer occur soon after placing the metal block in the
calorimeter, near thermal equilibrium, or somewhere in the middle? Why is this so?

Calculate the specific heat (C) of the metal using data from each trial.
Trial 1
(cup mass)(0.897 kJ kg-1 K-1)(cup T) + (water mass)(4.186 kJ kg-1 K-1)(water T) = (block mass)(C)(block T)
