    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 m=mass of water= density x volume = 1 x 26 = 26 grams ΔT = T(mix) – T(water) = 38.9 – 25.3 = 13.6 q(water) =26 x 13.6 x 4.18 q(water) = 1478 Joules 2. Using the formula qmetal = m × c × ΔT‚ calculate the specific heat of the metal. Use the data from your experiment for the

    Date: 25th November‚ 2011 Aim: To show that when Hot and Cold water are mixed‚ heat lost by hot water is equal to heat gained by cold water. Theory: This Lab is done to demonstrate “the Law of Conservation of Energy”‚ which implies: - “the heat lost by one (1) substance must be equal to the heat gained by another substance within the system”. Apparatus: Two (2) similar Calorimeters: a Thermometer: a Measuring Cylinder: a Bunsen burner: a Tripod: an Asbestos Gauze Cork Mat. Procedure:

    Experiment I: Thermochemistry Background: Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the studies of chemical reactions or physical changes and heat associated with chemical reactions. According to the first law of thermodynamics‚ energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be converted from one form into another and/or transferred between different atoms‚ molecules‚ or substances. In general‚ energy can be classified into two categories: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy

    the specific latent heat of fusion of water? Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance when changing states. This could be boiling or melting. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to melt a substance‚ while latent heat of vaporisation is the amount of energy needed to boil a substance. The specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334 j/g In the graph‚ you can see that as the temperature increases more energy is needed to heat the

    Honors Laboratory: Specific Heat and Conservation of Energy When energy in the form of heat Q is added to a material‚ the temperature of the material rises. Note that temperature‚ in units of degrees Celsius (°C) or Kelvin (K)‚ is a measure of how hot or cold a substance is‚ while heat‚ in units of joules (J) or calories (cal)‚ is a measure of its thermal energy. 1cal = 4.19J. A measure of the efficiency with which a substance can store this heat energy is known as specific heat capacity‚ or simply the
