What instrument can be used to calculate specific heat capacity?

A calorimeter is commonly used to calculate specific heat capacity. This device measures the heat transfer in a system when a material undergoes a temperature change, allowing for the determination of specific heat capacity.


What are the factors that affect a calorimeter?

Factors that affect a calorimeter include its insulation properties, heat capacity, and efficiency in measuring temperature changes accurately. Additionally, the material and design of the calorimeter can influence its ability to contain and transfer heat, impacting the reliability of the calorimetric measurements.


What is the independent variable in the calorimeter and specific heat experiment?

The independent variable in a calorimeter and specific heat experiment is typically the type of material being tested. By changing the type of material used in the experiment, one can examine how the specific heat capacity of different materials affects the amount of heat absorbed or released during a reaction.


Why is water an excellent material to use in a calorimeter?

Water is an excellent material to use in a calorimeter because it has a very high specific heat, making it very hard for water to raise its temperature even by 1 degree celsius, but as hard as it was to raise the temperature of the water, it is equally as hard to lower the temperature of the water-making it able to effectively retain heat and allowing the other material inside of the calorimeter to absorb that heat.


What does it mean that the calorimeter is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings?

A calorimeter measures the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction. A calorimeter that is adiabatically isolated from the surroundings means that any heat that is generated by the material sample under test, causes an increase in temperature.


Who invented bomb calorimeter?

French scientist and statesman, Berthelot (1827-1907) in 1881


A calorimeter uses the principle that thermal energy flows from hotter material to colder material until both reach the same?

...until both reach the same TEMPERATURE. That is, they are in THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.


Is the heat exchange between the metal and the water in the calorimeter by conduction or convection?

The heat exchange between the metal and the water in the calorimeter is mainly by conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself. Convection, on the other hand, involves the movement of the material itself, such as in a fluid like water.


Why calorimeter made up from nonmetallic material?

Can be used for testing heat output of devices powered by magnetic and/or electrical fields.


Is the material for the Insulated Grommet Curtain Panel dyeable?

Insulated grommet curtain panels can be dyed, but care must be taken so they dye evenly.


What is the density of iron in saline water?

Density is the characteristic property of the material and it does not depend on the liquid in which it is immersed


What are insulated wires made out of?

Insulated wires are typically made of a conducting material, such as copper or aluminum, surrounded by an insulating material like rubber, PVC, or Teflon. The insulation is essential for protecting against electrical shocks and preventing short circuits.
