Specific Heat Boiling Point
1,047 wordsThe purpose of this lab was to determine the specific heat of two different metals. In order to do this, specific directions were executed in order to discover the specific heat. First, we needed to obtain and record the weight of the Styrofoam calorimeter cup. Next, we filled the cup 2 / 3 full with cool tap water and recorded the temperature of the water. After this was done, we filled a glass beaker half full with water and placed it on a hot plate in order to have the water reach boiling poi...

Surface Tension Earth Surface
1,468 wordsWater Today Nearly three fourths of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Human life, as with all animal and plant life on the planet, is dependent upon water. Not only do we need water to grow our food, generate our power and run our industries, but we need it as a basic part of our daily lives - our bodies need to ingest water every day to continue functioning. Communities and individuals can exist without many things if they have to - they can be deprived of comfort, of shelter, even of ...

Amount Of Energy Oxygen Atoms
1,983 wordsPlanning In this investigation I will be burning alcohols to heat up a beaker of water. I will be burning five alcohols, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol. The aim is to find out how much energy is produced when burning these alcohols. An alcohol is a series of organic homologous compounds, with the general formula Cn H n + 1 OH´ . Alcohols react with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. The reaction that is involved in burning alcohols is exothermic because ...

Carbon Atoms Specific Heat
4,299 wordsI am going to investigate the difference in enthalpy of combustion for a number of alcohols, the enthalpy of combustion being the enthalpy change when one mole of any substance is completely burnt in oxygen under the stated conditions. I will be attempting to find how the number of carbon atoms the alcohol contains effects the enthalpy change that occurs during the combustion of the alcohol. Method I plan to measure the enthalpy change by burning the alcohol, using a spirit burner, I will then u...

Specific Heat Heat Energy
1,675 wordsMechanical Equivalent of Heat By: A. D. Haynes [Abstract / Introduction ] Long before physicists recognized that heat is a form of energy transfer resulting from the random microscopic motion of atoms, they defined heat in terms of the temperature changes it produces in a body. The traditional unit of heat is the calorie (cal), which is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 730; C. The kilocalorie is 1000 cal: 1 kcal = 1000 cal. Incidentally, the calories mar...

Heat Loss Specific Heat
2,132 wordsPhysics Group 4 Project? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? After being set our initial topic of the bath tub, we chose as a group to investigate the heat lost from a bath tub. ? We initially experimented with ideas such as using different shapes, sizes and materials. ? Eventually, we decided that the easiest option was to investigate how the thickness of a bath tub effects the heat loss, as well as how conduction, convection (evaporation) and radiation effected the heat lost from a bath tub and how we could r...
