Principle
Quantities of heat distribute themselves so that finally all
parts that are in contact with each other have the same
temperature. If the heat capacities and the initial temperatures
are known, then the final temperature can be predicted. Or, in
reverse, the final temperature can be used to derive the heat
capacity when the initial temperatures are known. Students are
heating different amounts of water with the butane burner and
determine their temperatures. They mix them with a known
amount of water in the calorimeter, the temperature of
which they have previously measured.
