Which of the following sets of measurements would you record during a specific heat capacity experiment to calculate the energy transferred to a sample (Temperature changes in a system and specific heat capacity)

The correct answer is Temperature of the sample before heating, the mass of the sample, and the temperature change of the sample.

Cause lens: Name the cause, then state the effect on particles, pressure, density, or energy. This question asks: Which of the following sets of measurements would you record during a specific heat capacity experiment to calculate the energy transferred to a sample (Temperature changes in a system and specific heat capacity). The correct response is Temperature of the sample before heating, the mass of the sample, and the temperature change of the sample, because density links mass and volume, so the answer must preserve which quantity is being calculated. In Temperature changes in a system and specific heat capacity, the marking point should connect directly to apply AT 1 and AT 5 skills when measuring temperature, mass and energy transfer. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Internal energy and energy transfers, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 364 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the cause lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
