    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

    FORMAL REPORT ON HEAT CAPACITY RATIOS OF GASES ABSTRACT This report discusses an investigation of the heat capacities of Helium‚ Nitrogen‚ and Carbon Dioxide. To accurately determine experimental values for the heat capacity of each gas‚ the heat capacity ratio was calculated from measurements of the speed of sound in each gas. An apparatus designed to measure the wavelength and frequency of sound waves in each gas was used to determine the speed of sound as a frequency was passed through each

    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

    Title: Specific Heat Capacities of Metals Experiment Date: 3/28/2012 Report Date: 4/4/2012 Purpose: The purpose of the lab is to measure the specific heat capacities of aluminum‚ steel and brass. Theory: The amount of heat (ΔQ) required to change the temperature of an object is proportional to the mass (m) of the object and the temperature change (ΔT) of the object. ΔQ= cmΔT where c is called as the specific heat capacity of the material. In the calorie units system the unit of quantity

    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:
