Calorimetry and Specific Heat Capacity
Students will define specific heat capacity and latent heat and apply calorimetry principles to solve problems.
Key Questions
- Explain how specific heat capacity affects the rate at which a substance heats up or cools down.
- Analyze the energy changes involved during phase transitions (melting, boiling).
- Design an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown material.
