CALORIMETRY
The measurement of heat flow
HEAT CAPACITY (C)
The heat capacity of an object is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by 1 degree K ( or 1degree C).
The TEMPERATURE CHANGE experienced by an object when it absorbs a certain amount of heat is determined by its heat capacity (C)
The grater the heat capacity , the greater the heat required to produce a given temperature
MOLAR HEAT CAPACITY (Cm)
The heat capacity of one mole of a substance
SPECIFIC HEAT (Cs)
The heat capacity in one gram of a substance.
. It is the amount of heat per unit mass required to to raise the temperature by one degree.
how is SPECIFIC HEAT determined
by measuring the temperature change
