Question

How to find out the heat capacity of a material?​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}$

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

$\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C \triangle T}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}$

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}$

$\leadsto$ When the $\bm{heat}$ is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in $\bm{temperature}$ , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.
