Determination of Specific Heat of Solids
To determine the specific heat capacity in experiment P2.3.2.1, various materials in particle form are weighed, heated in steam to the temperature ϑ1 and poured into a weighed-out quantity of water with the temperature ϑ2. After careful stirring, heat exchange ensures that the particles and the water have the same temperature ϑm. The heat quantity released by the particles:
