Required Practical 3 – Specific Heat Capacity Pg2 of 2
Results
Power of heater Watts
Time heater was on secs
Mass of block kg
Starting temperature ⁰C
End temperature ⁰C
Temperature change ⁰C

Calculations
1. Calculate the Energy transferred to the block from the heater.
Energy = Power x time
= ……………. X ………….
= …………………………………
2. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the block
Energy = mass x SHC x temperature change
SHC = Energy ÷ (mass x temperature change)
SHC = ………… ÷ (…………x………………………………)
= ………… J/kg⁰C

Conclusions
Actual specific heat capacity of block…………….
Calculated specific heat capacity of block…………….
