Thermal Properties of Water: Specific Heat Capacity Experiment

The video tutorial covers the thermal properties of water, focusing on specific heat capacity. It explains the concept, sets up an experiment to measure it, and calculates the results. The experiment involves heating water and measuring temperature changes to determine the specific heat capacity. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the accuracy of the results, noting potential energy losses.

What is specific heat capacity and how is it defined?

Explain the equation E = MC Theta and what each variable represents.

Describe the equipment used by Liam to determine the specific heat capacity of water.

How does Liam measure the mass of the water for his experiment?

What was the initial and final temperature of the water in Liam's experiment?

Calculate the temperature change (Theta) in the water based on Liam's results.

Discuss the reasons why Liam's calculated specific heat capacity of water may not be accurate.
