...the same happens if we take any other two simple bodies. This law may be enunciated as follows : — The same quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of an atom of any simple body the same number of degrees ; or, again, the atomic specific heat is the...

...contains less heat than the same weight of copper at the same temperature — in other words, a less quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given weight of silver to the same extent as an equal weight of copper, hence the capacity of copper for...

...The gas will now be in the same condition as if it had been 1 and not been allowed to expand. Hence, the same quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given weight of gas, t°, whi pressure remains constant and the volume alters, will raise the tempe / + /'...

...render * This scale of the air thermometer possesses also another peculiarity, viz. that the same amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of air at constant pressure through each degree of the scale, and it nearly agrees with the absolute thermometrio...

...expansion at constant pressure, the temperature is indicated by change of volume ; and the same amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of air through each degree of temperature. This advantage is peculiar to the air-thermometer. The liquid...

...the resulting temperature of the mixture. If equal masses at temperatures 6 and 6' be mixed, and if the same quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of each one degree at all parts of the scale, then the temperature of the mixture will be the arithmetic...

...substances, water has a greater capacity for heat than any other body. Consequently a larger amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of water through any number of degrees than is needed by an equal mass of any other substance. ELEMENTARY PHYSICS...

...work done, although not in the ordinary work units. 2. Change of Temperature.—If a certain amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance from 0° to 1°, it will evidently require n times as much heat to raise the temperature...

...substances were inversely as the masses. For if Q be the quantity of heat supplied in combustion of ra grammes under the same conditions. This method, however,...temperature of the mixture. If equal masses at temperatures 0 and ff be mixed, and if the same quantity of heat is required to raise the temperature of each one...

...than it does to raise the temperature of the same weight of rock to an equal degree. In fact, more heat is required to raise the temperature of a given mass of water a certain 'number of degrees than of almost any other known substance. Now, if we assume that the sun...
