Question

If 1495 J of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 376 g sample of a metal from 55.0°C to 66.0°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Answer 1

Specific heat capacity is the quality of heat required to change the temperature of the unit mass of the substance by one degree.

specific heat capacity (C)=energy required / mass x change in temperature
energy=1495j
mass=376g
change in temperature=66-55=11
c=1495/376 x11=0.3615 j/mol/k
