Water takes longer to heat up or cool down compared to air. That's because of something called heat capacity. Water has a ...

There are different ways to determine the specific heat capacity of water. In this required practical activity it is important to: measure and observe the change in temperature accurately use the ...

From this it can be seen that a change in temperature of a system depends on: The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one ...

When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C: ...

To Conduct Demonstration Bring an 800mL beaker of water to boiling. Place equal masses of lead and aluminum in the boiling water and allow them to heat for several minutes. Measure the temperature of ...
