Specific Heat Of Copper

Specific Heat Of Copper

Calculate the specific heat capacity of Copper.

Part of the course: Thermal Physics — Heat, Matter & Materials

Mission

Calculate the specific heat capacity of Copper

Variables

What you change

  • The Liquid

What you measure

  • Liquid Temperature

What you keep constant

  • Room Temperature
  • Liquid Volume
  • The Amount Of Heat transfered

Equations

m_c = Mass of copper

C_c = Specific heat of copper

ΔT_c = Change in temperature for copper

m_w = Mass of water

C_w = Specific heat of water

ΔT_w = Change in temperature for water

T_i = Temperature of water at room temperature

T_f = Temperature of water and copper after stirring

m_c * C_c * ΔT_c = m_w * C_w * ΔT_w

(\frac{8.8}{1000}) Kg * C_c* (100-T_f) = (\frac{50}{1000}) Kg * 4200 (\frac{J}{Kg.K}) * (T_f - T_i)
