Which substance has the most energy, the brick or the water?
How can one substance have more energy than another if they are both the same temperature?
Use the slider to turn on the heat. Which substance heats up the quickest.
Which substance requires the most energy to change its temperature 1 degree?
Assume that the brick and the water have the same mass. Which substance has the highest heat capacity?
Design an experiment using the simulation to determine whether the iron or the brick has the highest heat capacity. Be sure to describe your procedure. The evidence that you obtained and then explain how that evidence supports your conclusion. For full points, you must use the definition of heat capacity in your explanation.
All solids, liquids and gasses have a specific heat capacity. In the heating curve below, we are starting with a sample of ice from that very cold ridge in Antartica. Label each part of the curve with the correct name for the energy being absorbed between the two points.
Compare the heating curves of these two substances and then chose the substance for which each of the following is true.
Substance 1 | Substance 2 | |
|---|---|---|
Lowest Melting Point | ||
Lowest Boiling Point | ||
Lowest Heat Capacity | ||
Most temperature change for 1 unit of heat | ||
Requires most heat to melt | ||
Requires most heat to change temperature of liquid |
