In part A of the experiment the two values obtained for the specific heat capacity of the metal were about .0500 J/mol. This is a large deviation‚ with both of these values identifying very different metals. The average heat capacity identified the metal used as brass. The average heat capacity calculated was .3776 J/mol and the actual heat capacity of brass is .375 J/mol. The second run displayed the closest value to the actual value. A source of error that may have caused a large divide in the

Calculate the energy change (q) of the surroundings (water) using the enthalpy equation qwater = m × c × ΔT. We can assume that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J / (g × °C) and the density of water is 1.00 g/mL. The water has absorbed the heat of the metal. So‚ qwater = qmetal Using the formula qmetal = m × c × ΔT‚ calculate the specific heat of the metal. Use the data from your experiment for the metal in your calculation. Aluminum: q=26*4.18*6.3=684.684‚ c=q/(m*^T)=3.913

Report | Specific Heat Capacity of Brass | | Jin Jin Shi | 2012/12/6 | Instructor: Mr. Nailer | I. Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine the experimental quantities of heat transfer

Latent heat is a science term used to describe the amount of energy that has been absorbed or released when a substance goes through the process of changing states. | Latent Heat of Fusion - heat absorbed by a unit mass of a solid at its melting point in order to convert the solid into a liquid at the same temperature The heat absorbed as a substance changes phase from liquid to solid‚ a process called fusion or solidification. For water‚ Latent Heat of Solidification - heat liberated

specific heat of solids 1. Introduction Heat capacity of a body is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the body by 1oC. The specific heat of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass. Thus‚ heat capacity = mass x specific heat. The specific heat is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy. Heat and temperature are really different quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the
