Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots
Product Code : SCL-H-11112
Quick answer: The Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots raises metal shots to a steady, known temperature for specific heat experiments by the method of mixtures. Steam circulates in the outer jacket of a double-walled cylinder, so the shots in the inner chamber heat evenly without getting wet. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the method of mixtures experiment is done
To find the specific heat capacity of a solid, a known mass of shots is heated to a known temperature and dropped into a calorimeter of cold water. The heat lost by the shots equals the heat gained by the water and calorimeter: M c (T2 - T) = (m1 c1 + m2 c2)(T - T1), where T2 is the shot temperature, T1 the starting water temperature and T the final temperature of the mixture. The steam heater supplies T2 reliably: steam in the outer jacket holds the shots close to 100 deg C while keeping them dry, because hot water carried over with wet shots would add heat and spoil the result.
- Weigh the shots and place them in the inner chamber; fit the lid and insert a thermometer through the port.
- Connect the steam inlet and outlet tubes to the steam generator and a drain.
- Pass steam until the thermometer reading stays constant, and record T2.
- Weigh a calorimeter with cold water and note its temperature T1.
- Transfer the shots quickly into the calorimeter, stir, and record the highest steady temperature T.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a steam heater instead of boiling the shots in water?
Shots heated in water come out wet, and the hot water carried into the calorimeter adds extra heat. The double-walled steam heater brings the shots to steam temperature while keeping them dry.
What experiments is the steam heater used for?
Mainly the specific heat capacity of a solid by the method of mixtures, and demonstrations of heat transfer until thermal equilibrium is reached.
