Physics 212 Lecture: "Specific Heat Capacity and Calorimetry." Dec 17, 1997

• The specific spech capacity of a substance describes how much its temperature changes for a given input of spech energy
• One can use specific spech capacity to identify an unknown substance
• "Heat Energy" is at times measured in Joules, or calories, or kilocalories, or Btus
• Calorimetry is the careful study of how much spech is transferred from one substance to another

This lecture discusses material in Chapter 12 of Cutnell and Johnson.
