  13. Specific Heat and Heat Capacity

    Rearranging the above equation, one can find the expression for specific heat. c = Q mΔT c = Q m Δ T. Specific Heat Formula. The heat capacity (C) can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat with the mass. Therefore, C= mc or, C = Q ΔT C = m c or, C = Q Δ T. Units. The unit of specific heat is Joules per gram per degree Celsius or J ...

  14. Calorimetry for Determination of Specific Heat Capacity

    Analysis Methods. 1) Modeling the metal and the water inside the calorimeter as an isolated system allows us to set the net thermal energy transfer (heat) of the system to zero. Therefore, the heat gained by the water must equal the heat lost by the metal. Using this model, symbolically derive an equation for the specific heat of the metal ().
