Aim In the experiment, I intend to find out if volume is related to how fast heat is lost from beakers, I will use 5 different sizes of beakers, 1000ml, 400ml, 200ml, 75ml and 10ml. I will do this by filling the beakers with boiling water but make sure they start at 80c, then timing them for 10 minutes, recording their temperature every minute. By doing this I will be able to compare the heat-loss to the size of the beaker ratio and see the difference between them. Introduction As a beaker's surface area increases, the volume decreases, e.g. Surface area = X x X x 6 = 6X 2 Volume = B x H x W = X x X x X A Surface area = 6cm 2 Volume = 1cm 3 Ratio = 6:1 B Surface area = 24cm 2 Volume = 8cm 3 Ratio = 3:1 (cancelled down) A elephant is bigger than a mouse, so it's...
