ducted from the total to arrive at the latentheat of evaporation. It is not possible to determine .the specific heat of gases by thesame process as that described above for liquids, because themass of gas contained in the vessel to be heated would be sovery small compared to the mass of the water… … Fig. 40. CALORIMETRY OF FLUIDS 105 a similar spiral in the calorimeter; the quantity of gas usedcould thus be made as large as required. It is obvious, however,that this method does not give the true specific heat, but thespecific heat at constant pressure, since the gas flows withoutobstruction…
