Specific heat of iron?

The correct term is 'specific heat capacity', not 'specific heat', and it is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin in SI. There are lots of sources of information on this topic on the internet, so why not do a search rather than have someone do one for you?


How much electricity does a 200 liter geyser use?

It depends on its kilowattage rather than its fluid capacity and also on the output temperature if its temperature control specific


What quantity must the heat capacity of an object be divided to obtain the specific heat of that material?

Heat capacity is in the measurement of (kilo)Joules per mol degree Kelvin (J/mol K) Specific heat capacity is in joules/gram degree Kelvin (J/ gram K) Converting between the two is rather simple. To convert to specific heat capacity, divide the molar heat capacity by the molar mass of the molecule in question. eg. ( J/ mol K) / (grams/mol ) = J/ gram K, because mols will cancel.

Is there any material have higher specific heat capacity rather than water?

Yes. Check the Wikipedia article on "specific heat", and you'll find some - for example ammonia, lithium at certain temperatures, and helium.


How did the mongols connect the east and the west?

ah yes well you see a Calorimetry is the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings. Now that sounds very textbooky; but in this last part of Lesson 2, we are going to try to make some meaning of this definition of calorimetry. In physics class (and for some, in chemistry class), calorimetry labs are frequently performed in order to determine the heat of reaction or the heat of fusion or the heat of dissolution or even the specific heat capacity of a metal. These types of labs are rather popular because the equipment is relatively inexpensive and the measurements are usually straightforward. In such labs, a calorimeter is used. A calorimetry is a device used to measure the quantity of heat transferred to or from an object. Most students likely do not remember using such a fancy piece of equipment known as a calorimeter. Fear not; the reason for the lack of memory is not a sign of early Alzheimer's. Rather, it is because the calorimeter used in high school science labs is more commonly referred to as a Styrofoam cup. It is a coffee cup calorimeter - usually filled with water. The more sophisticated cases include a lid on the cup with an inserted thermometer and maybe even a stirrer


What is the capacity of a goldfish bowl?

It depends on the size of it. If it's smaller, it has less capacity, and it it's larger, it has more capacity. Although, goldfish are rather unhappy in bowls. I recommend an aquarium with proper filtering.


What happens to a wire if the current capacity is exceeded?

The wire overheats. In a bad case, a fire can be started. Note that, sometimes, current capacity is actually more a factor of insulation capacity rather than wire size.


What metric unit of capacity is used to measure small amounts?

I assume you mean volume rather than capacity. The milliliter would be the best answer. It is 1 thousandth of a liter.


What is the part of music?

That sounds rather philosophical. Can you be more specific?


Who had ideal types rather than specific examples?

Weber


Why are magnets in different shapes and sizes?

Why not? The capacity of being magnetized does not depend on the shape or on the size, but rather on the kind of material.
