What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
What is the specific heat constant of oxygen?
heat constant = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change
What is the specific heat of americium?
The specific heat of americium is: 0,11 J/gK
What is the relationship between specific heat and rate of heating?
change in temperature does not effect specific heat. for example,specific heat of water is 4.14 j/g.k at any temperature
What means that a large amount of energy is required to change the waters temperature?
Specific heat
Why is waters specific heat capacity 1.00 cal g C or 4.185 Joules g?
This is water's specific heat capacity because this is the amount of energy needed to heat up the water 1 degree Celsius.
can you Compare the experimental value obtained for the specific heat capacity with the theoretical value?
Yes.
What is the specific heat of other common materials?
Much lower. Consider water's superior ability to retail heat and compare that with a metal's rapid heat gain. It takes more energy to increase the temperature of water than to heat the metal of pot (as you will no doubt know if you have burned yourself on hot metal).
Waters high specific heat is mainly a consequence of the?
absorbtion and release of heat when hydrogen bonds break and form
Waters high specific heat is mainly a consequence of?
Water has a high specific heat capacity because it is a relatively light molecule (18 grams per mole). The specific heats of molecules are all about the same on a per-molecule basis, especially at higher temperatures. This is called the law of Dulong and Petit. At low temperatures, it gets more complicated because the vibrations of molecules are quantized. When specific heats are measured on a per-gram basis, lighter molecules have higher specific heats. For example, the specific heat of hydrogen (H2), which has a molecular weight of 2 grams per mole, is much higher than that of water. Liquid water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids (such as alcohols) because its molecules are lighter.
What is true about waters specific heat?
Water must to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one gram of water to increase 1 degree Celsius (°C).
Do ethanol conduct heat?
.I think yes because ethanol is a type of alcohol and alcohols are good conductors of heat.
How can aftershave evaporate faster than water?
Some alcohols have a low heat of vaporization.
How does heat combustion of paraffin compare to heat combustion of propane?
how does the heat of combustion of propane compare to the heat of combustion of paraffin wax
Specific heat and latent heat of LPG?
specific heat of lpg
Why specific heat is large specific volume?
Specific heat has nothing to do with specific volume.
