To measure Heat
2. Where have you heard the word calorie before? What do you think a calorie is?

Gizmo Warm-up
A calorimeter is an insulated container filled with a liquid, usually water. When
a hot object is placed in the calorimeter, heat energy is transferred from the
object to the water and the water heats up.
Calorimeters can be used to find a substance’s specific heat capacity. You
will use the Calorimetry Lab Gizmo to determine the specific heat capacities
of various substances.
1. On the SIMULATION pane, select Copper. Use the slider to set its Mass to 200 g. Set the Water mass to
200 g. Check that the Water temp is set to 30.0 °C and the copper’s Temp is 90 °C. Select the GRAPH
tab, and click Play ( ).
A.
What was the Final temperature of the copper and the water?
34.96 °C
B.
How much did the temperature of the copper change?
55.04 °C
C.
How much did the temperature of the water change?
4.96 °C
2. Specific heat capacity can be described as a substance’s resistance to temperature changes. Which
substance has a greater specific heat capacity, copper or water? Explain.
Water, because its temperature only changed 4.96 °C compared to 55.04 °C
