Specific Heat Lab Objective: Find the specific heat of the unknown metal given using calorimetry. Background Theory: In every reaction‚ energy is transferred between a system and its environment. A system encompasses the substances that are involved in a reaction‚ and everything else in the universe other than the system is called the environment. The standard SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Temperature is the level of excitement of the atoms in a substance. In most cases‚ energy is

Ten Minutes of Specific Heat Remi Adams East Rowan High School AP Environmental Science Abstract Specific heat and climate were the primary focus of this lab. Specific heat is defined as “the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature”. The purpose for carrying out this lab was to determine the specific heat/rates of both soil and water‚ and then comparing them. Students also were to relate specific heat to climate. Students were to determine which substance expressed

Practice Problems Set – 1 MEC301: Heat Transfer Q.1 The slab shown in the figure is embedded on five sides in insulation materials. The sixth side is exposed to an ambient temperature through a heat transfer coefficient. Heat is generated in the slab at the rate of 1.0 kW/m3. The thermal conductivity of the slab is 0.2 W/m-K. (a) Solve for the temperature distribution in the slab‚ noting any assumptions you must make. Be careful to clearly identify the boundary conditions. (b) Evaluate T at the

Specific heat is the property of the material that an object is made of. The greater the material’s specific heat and the mass‚ the more energy must be added to change its temperature. The goals of this lab were to calculate the specific heat of water and compare to the known value of 4.19J/°Cg. Another goal was to calculate the efficiency of the hot pot used for the experiment and to estimate the cost to heat water for a cup of tea and to bath in a bathtub. The thermal energy E= cm Δ T‚ required

HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISMS Heat energy is being transferred from one location to another because of a temperature difference. The three mechanisms for heat transfer are: • Conduction. When you grip the hot handle of a pan on a stove‚ you feel conduction in action. Heat flows from the pan and along the length of the handle to its cooler free end. This is because one end of the rod is held at the high temperature‚ and the other end stays at the lower temperature. Although the rod itself doesn’t

Heat Stress Exercises- Bhaskarla Krishna Harika Question 1: (5 marks) Herbicide spraying is taking place with a hand-held spray. The sprayers carry a container of weedkiller on their backs and the spraying covers a large area which they are covering on foot. The sprayers have just come back from annual leave‚ this being their first week back. To protect themselves against the herbicide‚ they are wearing cotton coveralls and gloves. On the day when spraying is to take place‚ the

Heat Waves What is heat wave? A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather‚ which may be accompanied by high humidity. While definitions vary‚ a heat wave is measured relative to the usual weather in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season. Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal can be termed a heat wave in a cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that area. What are the symptoms of heat strokes and sunstroke
