Question

(7) A 955 gram piece of tungsten metal is heated from 18°C to 100°C. The amount of heat absorbed

upon heating is 10,180 Joules. What is the specific heat capacity of the tungsten metal?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: Cp = 0.129 J/g°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass = 955 g of tungsten

T1 = 18°C

T2 = 100°C

Q = 10180 Joules

Cp = ?

Formula

Q = mCpΔT

Clear Cp from the equation

Cp = Q / mΔT

Substitution

Cp = 10180 / (955(100-18))

Cp = 10180 / (955(82))

Cp = 10180 / 78310

Cp = 0.129 J/g°C
