Abstract Different substances react in various ways when exposed to heat. The amount of energy necessary to heat a certain amount of water by one degree is different than that of another liquid or substance. The technical term used to determine this characteristic is called heat capacity or specific heat capacity. The purpose of this experiment is to find the heat capacity of water‚ orange juice‚ and olive oil. A couple of very specific equipment is needed in order to complete this experiment

In part A of the experiment the two values obtained for the specific heat capacity of the metal were about .0500 J/mol. This is a large deviation‚ with both of these values identifying very different metals. The average heat capacity identified the metal used as brass. The average heat capacity calculated was .3776 J/mol and the actual heat capacity of brass is .375 J/mol. The second run displayed the closest value to the actual value. A source of error that may have caused a large divide in the

Specific Heat: The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature change is usually expressed in the form shown below where c is the specific heat. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered‚ because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature. Q=mcTDelta Abstract: In this experiment we are trying to determine the
Premium Temperature Thermodynamics
Aim: i) To find the relationship between supplied energy and change in temperature of water. ii) To find the specific heat capacity (SHC) of water. Hypothesis: As time increases so does the temperature since the water is exposed to the heated wire for a longer period of time. Variables: The Dependent Variable is the temperature of the water‚ and since the Energy is calculated using temperature it is a dependent variable as well. The constant variables are the voltage and current. Theory:

Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

Premium Specific heat capacity Heat Thermodynamics
specific heat of solids 1. Introduction Heat capacity of a body is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the body by 1oC. The specific heat of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass. Thus‚ heat capacity = mass x specific heat. The specific heat is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy. Heat and temperature are really different quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the

Marybeth Brooks Physics Lab III Specific Heat Capacity Lab May 25‚ 2011 Abstract The specific heat capacity of various metals can be calculated and compared to accepted literature values. Dropping heated metal samples into a calorimeter filled with water and then measuring the change in the temperature of the system accomplished this. The metal samples were heated in a boiling water bath and were assumed to be at 100 C when they were removed. It was added to a calorimeter and stirrer
