Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...same high temperature do not give out the same amount of heat when cooled, because they contain unequal amounts. Water at 100 C. contains a larger quantity of heat than an equal mass of lead at 100 C., because the capacity of the water for heat is greater than the heat capacity of the lead used. Or, if 1 lb. of water at the temperature of the air is mixed with 1 lb. of iron at 100 C., the resulting temperature is not so high as that obtained by mixing 1 lb. of water at 100 C. with 1 lb. of iron at the atmospheric temperature. This evidently means that 1 lb. of water at 100 C. contains more heat than 1 lb. of iron at 100 C, or the capacity of iron for heat is less than that of water. In the same way, similar experiments with water and mercury show that the capacity of mercury for heac is less than that of water. Relative capacities for heat.--When equal masses of water, tacks, copper wire, sand, and mercury at the same high temperature, that of boiling water for instance, are each in turn stirred up with equal masses of cold water at a convenient lower temperature, it is found that the heating effect of the hot water is greater than that of any one of the other substances. BEFORE AFTER-Equal masses of different substances at the same temperature contain different quantities of heat. For instance, let three beakers, each containing 200 grams of cold water at 20 C., be taken; into the first 200 grams of hot water at 100 C. are poured, into the second 200 grams of small pieces of copper wire at 100 C., and into the third an equal quantity of mercury at 100 C. On stirring and observing the temperature of the mixtures they will be nearly as represented in Fig. 41, not allowing for the heat absorbed by the beakers. Thus, though the water, copper, and mercury all h...
