2) Now add the oil to the beaker and record the mass of the oil.

Answer 1

3) place a thermometer and an immersion heater into the oil.
4) Read the staring temperature of the oil and than wrap the beaker in insulating foam to reduce thermal energy transfer to the surrounding.

Question 2

5) connect a joulemeter to the immersion heater.

6) leave it for 30 minutes

Answer 2

7) read the total number of joules of energy that passed into the immersion heater and read the final temperature of the oil.
