2
Q
define calorimetry

the study of sharing of heat between two bodies in thermal contact
3
Q
define heat capacity
A
the heat required to raise unit temperature of whole body
4
Q
define specific heat capacity
A
the heat amt required to raise the temp of 1 kg body by 1degree c
5
Q
state principle of calorimetry
A
when two bodies of different temperature are in contact and no heat is lost to the surrounding, then the heat gained by body of lower temperature is equal to the heat lost by body of higher temperature
