Calorimetry
Calorimeter y
1) Specific heat capacities; simple determination and problems on specific heat capacity using heat loss and gain and the method of mixtures. 2) Latent heat, its determination for ice and steam only (including simple problems); common phenomenon involving specific capacity and latent heat.
