How to calculate calorimetry temperature change
This calculator finds temperature change from a calorimetry experiment using heat, mass, and specific heat capacity.
How the calculation works
ΔT = Heat ÷ (Mass × Specific heat capacity).
Example
500 J added to 100g of water (specific heat 4.184 J/g·°C): 500÷(100×4.184) ≈ 1.2°C rise.
Frequently asked questions
How is Result calculated?

Pro Tips for Calorimetry Temperature Change
- Specific heat capacity is substance-specific — water's is notably higher than most metals, so the same heat input produces a much smaller temperature change in water.
- Make sure heat, mass, and specific heat units are all consistent (typically joules, grams, J/g·°C).
Common Calorimetry Temperature Change Mistakes to Avoid
- Using water's specific heat capacity for a different substance, which have significantly different values.
