I'm doing an experiment in chemistry that involvesmath and measurements, and we're supposed to find Delta T using all these measurements and I'm not good at it at all. so if someone coujld please help me, that would be awesome!
here are the experiment details:
we have the mass of metal: 28.4g
mass of a calorimeter: 10.5g
mass of calorimeter with water in it: 466.5g
mass of calorimeter with water minus the mass of calorimeter: 456g
the temp. of water after 3 min: 25 degrees celcius.
what we had to do is drop a peace of lead that was in boiling water into room tem. water and watch how the temperature changed, but the temp did not change.
anyways....
the final temperature is: 25 degrees celsius
after this we have to determine how much heat the metal transferred to the water but there was no heat transferred so we just used 26 degrees celsius instead. so after that we need to use this eqaution: q= m times c times delta t, but i'm stuck from there. its long, but i'm stuck!

Delta T is the Change in Temperature. Delta always means change.
If the initial is 25, and final is 25*C, then Delta T = 0*C

Delta T means change in temperature.
It's calculated by Final T-Initial T
So, it can eather be positive or negative.
While using it on an enthalpy(Amount of heat) formula, the delta T plays a vital role, as the reaction's being exothermic or endothermic totally depends on the delta T.
If the delta T is positive, the calculation will ultimately be a positive heat amount which means, the reaction is absorbing heat.Absorbing heat means the reaction is endothermic.On the other hand, if the delta T is negative,it means the reaction is releasing heat which means, its an exothermic reaction.
Hope it helps a bit :)

Delta T means change in T ( temperature)
Final T - Initia T = Delta T
