Hi,
I am doing an experiment on the factors affecting the time to heat water from a set temperature to another, eg 20 to 35 deg C.
1. First, I have insulated the beaker properly, to minimise heat loss. I have connected a heating element to heat the water. Connected multimeter, give the voltage and current in the circuit. Using this, I can find the energy provided -
P = IV and then P = energy/ time.
Also, this should be equal to mc(delta temp) ; hence i can calculate the specific heat capacity.
I am altering the concentrating by adding salt.
Is this a viable method?? ?
Thanks
