Chapter 4, Problem 4A.4BST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The heat capacity of the calorimeter has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Heat capacity:  The ratio of heat supplied to the rise in the produced temperature is called as heat capacity.  It is given by the formula,

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Heat}\text{capacity}\left(\text{C}\right)\text{=}\frac{\text{Heat}\text{supplied}}{\text{Rise}\text{in}\text{temperature}\text{produced}}\\ \text{Heat}\text{capacity}\left(\text{C}\right)\text{=}\frac{\text{q}}{\text{ΔT}}\end{array}$
