Specific heat capacity, an essential concept in chemistry and physics, refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin).

When measuring specific heat capacity, you’re often dealing with a controlled experiment where external factors influencing heat transfer are well documented. In this case, you can use a calorimeter ...

When substances are heated, they gain heat energy. The atoms and molecules of substances gain kinetic energy and their speed increases. The average kinetic energy of these particles is proportional to ...

There are different ways to measure specific heat capacity. In this required practical activity, it is important to: make and record potential difference, current and time accurately measure and ...

Abstract: In this study, equations are developed that predict for synthetic sedimentary rocks (clastics, carbonates and evapourates) thermal properties comprising thermal conductivity, specific heat ...
