1 Honors Laboratory: Specific Heat and Conservation of Energy When energy in the form of heat Q is added to a material‚ the temperature of the material rises. Note that temperature‚ in units of degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)‚ is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is‚ while heat‚ in units of joules (J) or calories (cal)‚ is a measure of its thermal energy. 1cal = 4.19J. A measure of the efficiency with which a substance can store this heat energy is known as specific heat capacity‚ or simply

INTRODUCTION Whenever two objects with different initial temperatures are put in contact with each other‚ the warmer one will cool down‚ and the cooler one will warm up‚ until they reach the same temperature. We now know that this has to do with the motions of molecules: what we sense as temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of each material: the faster they’re vibrating around‚ the hotter the object feels. We can sidestep this molecular picture by dealing with
