what is the observation of specific heat at solids
Answers
Soil thermal properties. The thermal properties of soil are a component ofsoil physics that has found important uses in engineering, climatology and agriculture. ... While related to soil temperature, it is more accurately associated with the transfer of heat throughout the soil, by radiation, conduction and convection
Explanation:
The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.
Answer
Let final temperature of mixture is t.
Let the specific heat of solid is c

Heat lost by (calorimeter + water) = heat gained by solid
zc 1
(t 1−t)+yc 2
(t 1 −t)=zc 3
(t−t 2 )
Specific heat of solid, c 3
= z(t2 −t)/(xc 1 +yc 2 )(t−t 1 )
