金属の比熱容量

アルミニウム、銅、鉄の熱容量を比較する

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 40 分 ~$10.00

目的

混合法を用いて複数の金属の比熱容量を決定し、受け入れられた値と比較する。

背景

The specific heat capacity of a metal can be determined by heating a known mass of metal to a known temperature, then transferring it to water in a calorimeter and measuring the temperature change. Energy conservation (q_metal = -q_water) allows calculation of the metal's specific heat.

安全上の警告

  • Hot metals and boiling water — burn risk
  • Use tongs to transfer hot metals
  • Do not touch hot metals with bare hands

必要なPPE

goggles lab_coat

材料

  • Metal samples (Al, Cu, Fe) (50 g each)
    Cylindrical pieces work best
  • Distilled water (300 mL)
  • Boiling water (500 mL)
    For heating metals

器具

Polystyrene cup calorimeter Beaker (600 mL) Hot plate Thermometer (2) Analytical balance Tongs String

手順

1

Weigh each metal sample accurately. Record masses.

3 分
2

Place all metals in boiling water for 10 minutes to reach 100°C.

12 分 Handle hot water carefully
3

Add 100 mL room-temperature water to the calorimeter. Record initial temperature.

2 分
4

Using tongs, quickly transfer the aluminum sample to the calorimeter. Stir and record max temperature.

5 分 Hot metal — use tongs
5

Calculate c(Al) = m(water)×c(water)×ΔT(water) / [m(Al)×ΔT(Al)].

5 分
6

Repeat steps 3-5 for copper and iron.

15 分
7

Compare measured values with accepted: Al=0.897, Cu=0.385, Fe=0.449 J/g°C.

5 分

予想される結果

Aluminum should give the largest temperature rise in the water (highest specific heat), followed by iron, then copper. Measured values should be within 10-20% of accepted values.

後片付け

Allow metals to cool completely. Dry and store. Pour water down the drain. Clean calorimeter.
