11. Check the energy symbols and link heaters on the right side.
12. Heat the heaters simultaneously and hold it for about 5 seconds.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
-Olive Oil
B. Which could absorb more energy or more heat and what does it imply about its
specific heat capacity?
-Oil does heat faster than water. Oil has a lower specific heat than water. Oil can
be heated to high temperatures with relatively smaller input of energy than water. In
liquid form, oil can be heated to a higher temperature than water.
C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g) (°C). Calculate the energy (in J) absorbed
if the temperature changed from 30 °C to 50°C and the mass of the water is 100g.
Given: Solution:
m= 100g Q= mc ΔT
D. Since the oil and water were heated simultaneously and of the same mass, calculate
the specific heat capacity of the oil if the temperature changed from 30 °C to 70°C.
Given: Solution:
= 2.092 J/g°C
