Specific Heat Capacity |
Energy required to raise 1kg of a substance by 1°C |
|
|
Equipment needed for SHC practical |
Mass balance, thermometer, immersion heater, joulemeter, stopwatch |
|
|
Two values that must be first measured to find SHC |
Mass, temperature |
|
|
Next step of practical after measuring mass and temperature |
Insert immersion heater into substance (connected to joulemeter |
|
|
Causes of error in SHC practical |
Some energy is dissipated into surroundings (lost), human error (reading thermometer) |
|
|
Reducing error in SHC practical |
Use electric thermometer (avoid human error) Insulate substance (decrease dissipation) Add a lid (decrease dissipation) |
|
|
