Principle
Heated specimens are placed in a calorimeter filled with water at low temperature. The heat capacity of the specimen is determined from the rise in the temperature of the water.
Benefits
- Flexible experimenting thanks to wireless data transmission
- Data acquisition with tablets possible
- Simplified implementation: all pre-settings already prepared
Tasks
- To determine the specific heat capacity of aluminium, iron and brass.
- To verify Dulong Petit's law with the results of these experiments.
Learning objectives
- Mixture temperature
- Boiling point
- Dulong Petit's law
- Lattice vibration
- Internal energy
- Debye temperature
