What is room temperature?
how to measure specific heat?

Open in App

Solution

a comfortable temperature that is not too hot or too cold.

a temperature of from 59° to 77°F (15° to 25°C) that is suitable for human occupancy and at which laboratory experiments are usually performed.

The specific heat is the amount ofheat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.

Q=cm∆T

Q=heat added

c=specific heat

∆T=temperature change

m=mass
