Question

The formula Q = MCT where Q = heat flow, M = mass, C = specific heat, and T = change of temperature is used to calculate heat flow. Solve this formula for T.

T = Q – MC
T = Q + MC
T = QMC
T = Q divided by the quantity M times C

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, T = Q divided by the quantity M times C

Explanation :

The given formula is,

`Q=MCT`

where,

Q = heat released or absorbed

M = mass of a substance

C = specific heat of a substance

T = change of temperature

To write the given equation in the form of T only, we rearrange the equation and we get :

`Q=MCT\\\\T=(Q)/(MC)`

Hence, the correct option is, T = Q divided by the quantity M times C

Answer 2

Answer;

T = Q divided by the quantity M times C

That is; T = Q /(MC)

Step-by-step explanation;

-Q or heat flow, or thermal energy is measured using temperature change and calculated using the formula Q= MC Δt., Where M is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and delta t is the change in temperature.

-From the formula; To determine the change in temperature, we just divide the given formula by the product m×c, both sides,

ΔT = Q/mc

-To determine the specific heat capacity we divide both sides by the product m×delta T

c = Q/m×Delta T

To determine the mass, we divide both sides by the product c×delta T.

m = Q/c×Delta T
