1. Key Concepts and Formula/Equation to Remember
  • HEAT CAPACITY
  • SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY
  • Water as heat buffer given its SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY of 4200 J °C-1 kg-1
  • Calculation of HEAT CAPACITY and SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

    Pt = Q = mcΔT = CΔT

  • Mixing two liquids with different temperatures

    m1c1ΔT1 = m2c2ΔT2
