  1. Your hot water temperature was probably lower than the boiling point for water.  Explain what may contribute to water boiling at a lower temperature than the standard boiling point for water.  

  2. Use a ratio to determine how many times greater the specific heat capacity of water is compared to the specific heat capacities of your metal samples.

Example:

WaterGold=4186J/kgC129J/kgC=32.41
