how to perform specific heat capacity RP: place a beaker on a balance and press 0
add the substance and record the mass
place a thermometer and immersion heater into the substance
read starting temperature of the substance
wrap the substance in insulating foam to reduce thermal energy transfer to the surroundings
connect a joulemeter to the heater
read the number of joules which has passed into the immersion heater
read final temperature of the substance
rearrange the equation for change in thermal energy
