Heat Transfer as Energy Exchange

In this lab we are using an immersion heater to raise the temperature of water. The immersion heater we are using is 300 W. So, for 20 seconds we should be able to generate
The graph below shows the progress of the water being heated. We will pay more close attention to the more linear part of the graph for the next step.




 Here, we created a calculated column for Heat in order to obtain the graph of Heat vs Temperature graph below. The slope if this line represents the heat capacity of water.
