How can the specific heat capacity of water be used to regulate temperature? Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of an object by 1˚C. The formula that uses specific heat is Q = mc∆T‚ where Q is heat energy‚ c is specific heat‚ and ∆T is the change in temperature. The amount of heat energy depends on the mass‚ or the size of an object‚ and the specific heat capacity‚ which depends on the substance it is made from. The specific heat capacity of water

Hypothesis: Temperature of water affects the time taken for salt to dissolve Introduction: In this is will be doing a coursework an experiment in which I will be trying to prove my hypothesis? I will do a set of trial experiment and a main one which I will be trying different temperature‚ which I can prove that this will work and to make sure I get hang of it when I do my real experiment. I will also draw a set of graphs in which I can show which can show if this proves my hypothesis. Important

Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

Lab #5: Dissolved Oxygen Lab Be sure to read and understand the below instructions BEFORE the lab! Experiment 1: Investigating the Effect of Temperature and Salinity on the Concentration of Dissolved Oxygen in Water Introduction: In an aquatic environment‚ oxygen must be in a solution in a free state (O2) before it is available for use by organisms (bio-available). Its concentration and distribution in the aquatic environment are directly dependent on chemical and physical factors and are

How does water temperature affect the amount of dissolved oxygen? Ⅰ. Introduction Dissolved oxygen is just one of the many ways to measure water quality. It means the volume of oxygen that is contained in water. The amount of dissolved oxygen in water usually determines the quantity of organisms living in that water. Dissolved oxygen levels vary by how much oxygen the water can hold‚ how much oxygen is produced by photosynthesis‚ and how much oxygen is consumed by respiration. If water is too warm

2 Angles make a difference Aim The aim of this experiment is to test whether the angle of sunlight affects the surface temperature on earth. Hypothesis I believe Block B will receive more sunlight than Block A‚ because the lamp shines directly onto Block B. Materials * * Lamp * 2 thermometers * 2 blocks of wood * Black plastic tape Procedure 1. Cut out two small identically sized pieces of black tape and attach onto wooden blocks so that they make pockets. 2.

LAB ACTIVITY: Coastal and Continental Temperature Ranges ANALYSIS: 1) I can tell from the temperature curves that the cities are all in the Northern Hemisphere because it ranges from low to high then back to low again starting in January. 2) The city that has the greatest yearly temperature range is Bismarck‚ N.D. 3) The cause of the greatest range is because the location is located most near the pole. 4) The rates of heating and cooling do not differ much for New York

After performing this experiment‚ it was found that the surface the chocolate was placed on could make a major difference. The hypothesis that was made had mostly incorrect predictions‚ but with some correct ones. It was found that using the palm of one’s hand was the best surface on which to melt chocolate‚ as was predicted. It melted so far‚ and so fast‚ that the experiment had to be altered. Coming in second place was the surface of black paper‚ something that was not expected. The black

Mealworms eating Potatoes Report What will gain mass? What will lose mass? What color did the BTB change? What are atoms moving from? Where are they moving to? I predicted that the potato would lose mass‚ and the mealworms would gain mass. I predicted that the BTB would lose mass. My last prediction was that the atoms are moving from the potato and into the mealworms. Steps for our procedure: 1.)Get container deep enough so mealworms can’t crawl out‚ with holes for them to breathe. 2.)Record container
