Question:

Describe the specific heat capacity practical of oil

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

Begin by placing a beaker on a balance, now add the oil to the breaker and record its mass, place a thermometer and an immersion heater into the oil. Read the starting temperature of the oil and warp the breaker in insulating foam to reduce thermal energy transfer to the surroundings. Connect a joule meter and a power pack to the immersion heater and the joule meter states how many joules of electrical energy passes into the immersion heater. Leave the set up for 30 minutes to allow the temperature to rise to a high enough level to ensure accurate thermometer readings. Read the number of joules of energy that passed into the immersion heater and read the final temperature of the oil.
