Specific Heat Capacity of Tap Water Experiment by milayosores is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This experiment aimed to determine the specific heat capacity of tap water. The student measured the temperature change of 0.5 liters of water when heated for periods of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1.5 minutes, and 2 minutes. The specific heat capacity was calculated using the formula Q=m*c*ΔT. The average specific heat capacity was found to be 5.10 J/g°C, higher than the theoretical value for pure water of 4.186 J/g°C due to impurities in tap water. Potential sources of error included heat loss from the uncovere
