We know inuitively that it takes more energy to boil two kettles of water than one kettle. Mathematically, we say this as:
heat energy is proportional to mass
heat energy is proportional to change in temperature
heat energy is proportional to specific heat capacity
When making a kettle of tea, we start with room temperature water instead of cold water because
heat energy is proportional to mass
heat energy is proportional to change in temperature
heat energy is proportional to specific heat capacity
We had some nails and water that were both too hot too touch. The nails cooled down faster because:
heat energy is proportional to mass
heat energy is proportional to change in temperature
heat energy is proportional to specific heat capacity
The sand at a beach gets very hot during the day, and cools down rapidly at night. The water stays close to the same temperature, because
the sand has a higher specific heat capacity
the water has a higher specific heat capacity
Something that has a high specific heat capacity is likely to:
stay at close to a constant temperature
heat up easily and stay hot
cool down easily and stay cold
heat up and cool down easily
Something that has a low specific heat capacity is likely to:
stay at close to a constant temperature
heat up easily and stay hot
cool down easily and stay cold
heat up and cool down easily
The equation for heat transfer is H = m×c×ΔT Using this equation, figure out how much heat is required to warm up 2000 g of water from 20 degree C to 100 degrees C. Conveniently, the specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/gram/degree C
40,000 cal
160,000 cal
20,000 cal
80,000 cal
The equation for heat transfer is H = m×c×ΔT Using this equation, figure out how much heat is released when 100 grams of olive oil cool by 40 degrees C. The specific heat capacity of olive oil is c = 0.5 calories/gram/degree C.
40 cal
100 cal
