Virtual lab: Specific heat capacity

Aim: find the specific heat capacity of an aluminium block. Press the button to carry out each step of the method.

Follow the method one step at a time, or use the buttons above to finish it for you.

    Results

    Specific heat capacity c = ΔE ÷ (m × Δθ). From the graph, c = 1 ÷ (m × gradient).

    Graph: temperature against energy transferred

    The graph will be drawn when you reach that step.
