Code Number: 4B10.10
Demo Title: Heat Capacity Demo
Condition: Good
Principle: Heat Capacity
Area of Study: Thermodynamics
Equipment: Beakers (1000 mL) (2), Lead block (400 g, small), Ring stands with asbestos pads (2), Bunsen burners (2), Digital thermometers (2).
Procedure:
Set the demo up using 800 ml of water in one beaker. Use 400 grams of lead and 400 ml of water in the other beaker. Heat and observe that the beaker with the lead will have a faster rise in temperature.
