Principle
Three metal bodies having the same mass are heated in boiling
water and then successively placed in a calorimeter. Even from just
the measured mix temperatures it is possible to make qualitative
conclusions as to the size of the storage ability (heat capacity)
of the metals. The specific heat capacity of solid bodies is
calculated from the released heat.
Benefits
- Real stand material for an esecially stable and safe setup
- Own construction of a calorimeter deepens the understanding
- Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports available
