In one of our past units we learned about calorimetry. calorimetry is the measurement of heat flow.
the measurements are made inside an insulated apparatus called a calorimeter.
to calculate heat energy we used this formula Q=mcdeltaT.
m= the mass of the matter being measured.
c=specific heat. the amount of heat energy required to raise 1g of a substance to 1*c. (cal/g*c or J/g*c)
remeber Q=mcdeltaT can only refer to ONE object
swich up the formula to find certin variables---->
Q=mcdeltaT
m=Q/cdelatT
c= Q/mdeltaT
delta T=Q/mc
