    from the final temperature of the aluminum. ΔT = Tf - Ti (5 points) Determine the mass of the water by using the water’s density (specific to the initial temperature) and the volume of the water. Remember‚ density = mass/volume. You can look up the density of the water at your specific temperature. (5 points) Use the equation: q = m(SH)ΔT to solve for the amount of heat gained by the water from metal. You have the mass of water from

    An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example‚ the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system: if the system is divided in half‚ the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. According

    melting the top one metre of ice‚ called the active layer. This layer contains both water and mud‚ which both have different viscosities and therefore different specific heat capacities. During the three months of summer‚ when the active layer is visible‚ rocks will embed themselves into it. These rocks have a fairly high specific heat capacity in relation to ice‚ so the ice around it will be melted‚ and the process of percolation will cause a pool of water will form below the rock. As the temperature

    recorded; the change in temperature (∆T) was calculated by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature. The reaction was performed twice for every calorimeter. The heat capacity (Ccal) of each calorimeter was calculated using the formula‚ C_cal=(-〖∆H〗_rxn^o n_LR)/∆T [1] where ∆Horxn is the total heat absorbed or evolved for every mole of reaction and nLR is the number of moles of the limiting reactant. The ∆Horxn used was -55.8kJ per mole of water while the nLR was 0.005 mole

    how to determine the caloric content of food by creating our own calorimeter. Measuring the energy content of three different food samples by using the change in water temperatures from the heat given off while burning the sample. To verify our results much further — equations‚ such as energy and heat capacity calculations‚ helped us establish on such results. As a result of the experiment‚ I learned and understand better the importance of choosing food with the right caloric content to get us through
