The temperature change in each amount of water is measured and specific heats can be determined. The ΔTmetal is Tf-Ti, where Tf is the final temperature and Ti is the initial. The initial temperature ...

Also, if \(1 kg\) of copper and \(1 kg\) aluminium have the same amount of heat energy added to them, the change in temperature for each metal is different. The specific heat capacity ...

From this it can be seen that a change in temperature of a system depends on: The specific heat capacity of a material is the energy required to raise one kilogram (kg) of the material by one ...
