Question

Given a material of specific heat c in Cal/gramC^o and mass 6 grams. If the material is heated by absorbing 7 calories of heat then which of these expressions yields the change in temperature of the material in Celsius degrees? A)7 divided by (c - 6) B)7 times (c - 6) C)7 divided by (6 times c)

Answer 1

Given:

The mass is m = 6 grams.

The heat absorbed is Q = 7 calories.

The unit of specific heat, c of the material is cal/gram degree Celsius

To find the change in temperature of the material in degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the temperature change is

`\begin{gathered} Q\text{ = mc}\Delta T \\ \Delta T=(Q)/(mc) \end{gathered}`

Substituting the values, the change in temperature will be

`\Delta T\text{ = }(7)/(6* c)`

Final Answer: The change in temperature will be 7 divided by (6 times c).
