make and record potential difference, current and time accurately measure and observe the change in temperature and energy transferred use appropriate apparatus and methods to measure the specific ...

Equal masses of aluminum and lead are heated in boiling water. The metals are then placed in separate beakers containing equal volumes of room temperature water. The temperature change in each amount ...

The distances between particles are smallest in the solid, they are larger in the liquid and larger again in the gas. The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their ...

The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...

In DSC, the heat flow determined is directly proportional to the specific heat capacity. Hence C p is calculated directly from the DSC signal (Φ meas). In order to do this, the DSC curve is corrected ...
