Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Lead metal shot sample for calorimetry and heat experiments.
Used for specific heat capacity work by the method of mixtures.
Small shot form heats faster and transfers more easily than a large metal block.
Used with steam heaters, calorimeters, thermometers, balances and stirrers.
Stored in a closed, labelled container after use.
About This Product
A weighed quantity of shots is heated in a steam heater or approved heating arrangement and transferred quickly into water in a calorimeter. After gentle stirring, the final equilibrium temperature is recorded and the heat lost by the metal is compared with the heat gained by the water and calorimeter. As the material is lead, the shots are used only under teacher or laboratory instructor supervision. The Lead Shots is available for supply within India and for export to Guyana, Grenada, Solomon Islands, Côte d'Ivoire and New Zealand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What safety care do lead shots need? Use them only under teacher or laboratory instructor supervision, do not touch heated shots directly, do not ingest or inhale lead dust, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
