Formulas and Key Relations

Heat, Temperature and Calorimetry

Q = mcΔt

c' = Q/Δt

c = Q/(m·Δt)

c' = mc

Principle of Calorimetry and Method of Mixtures

m1c1(t1 − t) = m2c2(t − t2)

c = [(m2−m1)cw + m1cc](t−t1) / [m(t2−t)]

cL = [mc(t2−t) − m1cc(t−t1)] / [(m2−m1)(t−t1)]

P = W/T

W = PT = mcΔt

1 cal = 4.186 J, approximately 4.2 J.
