Specific Heat

Use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature change of a volume of warm water when a cold piece of metal is placed in it. Determine the total amount of heat transferred from the warmer water to the cold metal, and the specific heat of the metal sample.

Featured Equipment

PASPORT Quad Temperature Sensor

Allows any combination of our stainless steel, fast response or skin/surface temperature probes for a wide variety of temperature measurement. For use with PASPORT Interfaces.

Density Set

The Density Set allows you to investigate irregular objects by water displacement and specific heat.

Energy Transfer - Calorimeter

This unique calorimeter uses a heating resistor instead of a spring coil to heat a small amount of water.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
