Calorimetry

The topic briefly explains heat and temperature along with their units. It describes heat capacity and the factors affecting the heat absorbed or heat released. We will also study the instruments used to measure temperature.

In this topic, we will learn about heat capacity and specific heat capacity with their units. It also describes some natural phenomena caused due to high specific heat capacity and heat capacity with examples.

In this topic, the concept of calorimeter which is a cylindrical vessel made of copper and used for measuring temperature is explained. An illustration of calorimeter with the labelling of its parts is also shown here.

In this topic, we will learn about the change of state. It describes an apparatus used to determine the melting point of a substance along with a temperature-time graph. It discusses the processes involved during change of state.

This topic gives us a detail on the latent heat of fusion and vaporisation along with the specific latent heat. It also discusses the factors affecting the melting point and the boiling point with the activities.

The topic highlights the essentiality of the humans on the earth with their impacts. We will study about combustion engines along with their construction and working. It also discusses the efficiency of heat engine with its advantages.
