PHYWE Specific heat capacity of solids

Principle: Three metal bodies of the same mass are heated in boiling water and then successively placed in the calorimeter. Even from the measured temperatures of the mixture, qualitative conclusions can be drawn about the magnitude of the storage capacity (heat capacity) of the metals. The specific heat capacity of solids is calculated from the heat released. Advantages: Real bench material for a particularly stable and safe installation. Own calorimeter design deepens understanding. Experiment descriptions suitable for students, with accessible reports.
