The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 joules per kilogram per Kelvin, requiring a significant amount of heat to raise its temperature.
Copper has a specific heat capacity of 0.4 joules per kilogram Kelvin, making it a good conductor due to its low specific heat capacity.
Calorimetry involves measuring the quantity of heat, with a calorimeter based on the principle that heat gained by one body equals heat lost by another until their temperatures are equal.
A calorimeter contains a thermometer suspended in a copper vessel to measure temperature, with the vessel designed to prevent heat loss through radiation, conduction, and convection.
The woolen jacket surrounding the copper vessel aids in retaining heat and preventing heat loss, ensuring efficient heat measurement within the calorimeter.
