The name “ruby” comes from the Latin word ruber, which means red.

Sapphires get their colors from trace elements in the mineral corundum. Classic blue sapphires contain iron and titanium, and trace elements of chromium can turn corundum pink, while more chromium turns it into a ruby.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)

Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
