Practice Problem: Calorimetry and Specific Heat

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the specific heat of a metal using a practical example. A piece of metal is transferred from boiling water to cold water, and the change in temperature is used to determine the specific heat. The tutorial covers the concepts of heat transfer, conservation of energy, and the necessary calculations to find the specific heat of the metal.
