Qlost = Qgained
QLOST BY SUBSTANCE = QGAINED BY LIQUID + QGAINED BY CALORIE METER
1-Thermometer
2-caloriemeter
3-water
4-solid substance
5- steam generator
Method and Steps
1- Measure the weight of empty Calorimeter and record its value Mc
2- Measure the weight of water inside calorimeter and record its value Mw =
Mcw – Mc. And measure their initial temperature (Tw)
3- weight some pieces of solids [ copper , Aluminum] and record their value
(Ms).
4- Put solid pieces in steam generator and let them heated to reach final
temperature (Ts).
5- Put the solid pieces into the water and let them reach the final mixture
temperature (T) .
6- Finally apply the equations and get the value of specific heat of solid (Cs)
Table of Measurements
Aluminum 0.22
Copper 0.093
