I have to do an experiment for my class but do not have tin foil or money to go buy itThis is the procedure:Measure approximately 1/2 teaspoon of water (one gram) and the same mass of aluminum foil (one 1 x 8 inch sheet)In a metal spoon or similarly small container, heat both on the stove for 20 seconds or lessFor example, you may want to heat up the water in one spoon and heat up the foil in another spoon then compareLightly touch each to detect how hot they are.The tin foil would heat up faster because it has a lower specific heat than water.Other related question
