    Calculating specific heat capacity A constant-pressure calorimeter is often used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance if it is not known. A known mass of the substance can be heated and added to water of known mass and initial temperature. Since the specific heat capacity of water is known ( C s,water =4.184J/(g⋅ ∘ C)) , the amount of heat transferred to the water can be calculated by measuring the final temperature of the mixture at thermal...

    Specific Heat (more precise) The heat capacity of an object indicates how much energy that object can absorb for a given increase in that object's temparature. In a system in which two objects of different temperatures come into contact with one another, the warmer object will cool and the cooler object will warm up until the system is at a single equilibrium temperature. Note the difference between the terms molar heat capacity, which has units of J/mol- Degree C, and...
