Question

What is the specific heat capacity of a metal if it requires 177.5 J to change the temperatures of 15.0g of the metal from 25.00 degree celcius to 34 degree celcius

Answer 1

The specific heat capacity of a metal is 1.31 J/g°C = C

Step-by-step explanation:

A classical excersise of calorimetry to apply this formula:

Q = m . C . ΔT

177.5 J = 15 g . C (34°C - 25°C)

177.5 J = 15g . 9°C . C

177.5 J /15g . 9°C = C

1.31 J/g°C = C
