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 ...

The temperature change in each amount of water is measured and specific heats can be determined ... Place equal masses of lead and aluminum in the boiling water and allow them to heat for several ...

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: ...
