    Calorimeters

    q = CΔT              C = heat capacity              ΔT = Tf - Ti

     

     

    If an object absorbs 1000J of heat and its temperature increases 5 degrees, what is its heat capacity?

    Heating Curve

    heating curve

    q = mcΔT              m = mass              c = specific heat               ΔT = Tf - Ti

    ΔH°fus = heat of fusion (melting)

    ΔH°vap = heat of vaporization (boiling)
