∙ 13y agoHeat capacity depends on the material that it's made out of. If the sinker is made out of cast iron, it'd be around 0.46 kJ/kg K. Google "specific heat of metals" for lists.

If you had a lead sample that was double the mass of the sinker you used in the investigation what would be the heat capacity of the heavier sample?
It would be the same. The Cp of the lead never changes, no matter the mass.
What is the heat capacity of xylose?
The heat capacity of xylose is 281 Jmol-1K-1.
Why does the thermocouple have a little heat capacity?
why does the thermocouple have a very small heat capacity
Does covalent bonds give water a low heat capacity?
yes it does give a low heat capacity.
Do covalent bonds give water a low heat capacity?
Water is covalently bonded and has a high heat capacity.
What is heat sinker?
makes the heat sink

It would be the same. The Cp of the lead never changes, no matter the mass.
What quantities do you need to know in order to determine the amount of heat released by the lead sinker in cooling to the final temperature?
mass of water, initial temp of the water, final temp of water after the hot sinker is put into the water, the temp of the hot sinker (if it is heated in separate boiling water, the temperature of the water) and the specific heat of water ( 1 cal/g degree C)
What factor most influence the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of a substance?
specific heat capacity
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
What is the speciic heat capacity of KNO3?
What is the specific heat capacity of kno3
Is the heat capacity of a body the same as its specific heat capacity?
The heat capacity depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/K.The specific heat capacity not depends on the mass of a material and is expressed in j/mol.K.
Dimensional formula for heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
heat capacity- ML2T-2K-1 Specific Heat Capacity-M0L2T-2K-1
What is the specific heat capacity in kJkgk of sodium sulphate?
heat capacity of sodiumsulphate
What is the specific heat capacity of Polyester?
The specific heat capacity of polyester is 2.35degrees
How do you measure molar heat capacity?
Specific heat is the heat capacity divided by the heat capacity of water, which makes it dimensionless. To obtain molar heat capacity from specific heat for a material of interest, simply multiply the specific heat by the heat capacity of water per gram [1 cal/(g*C)]and multiply by the molecular weight of the substance of interest. For example, to obtain the molar heat capacity of iron Specific heat of iron = 0.15 (note there are no units) Molar heat capacity of iron = 0.15*1 cal/(g*C)*55.85 g /gmole = 8.378 cal/(gmole*C)
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
