Experimental problem
The whole text given to the students:
At the workplace there are beyond other devices a test tube with 12 V electrical
heating, a liquid with known specific heat (c = 2.1 J/gC) and an X material with unknown
0
thermal properties. The X material is insoluble in the liquid.
Examine the thermal properties of the X crystal material between room temperature
and 70 C. Determine the thermal data of the X material. Tabulate and plot the measured data.
(You can use only the devices and materials prepared on the table. The damaged
devices and the used up materials are not replaceable.)
