Question

Rearrange the specific heat capacity equation for:

a) m
b) c
c) ΔT
d) None of the above

Answer 1

The specific heat capacity equation can be rearranged for mass, specific heat, and change in temperature using simple algebraic manipulations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific heat capacity equation is Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature. To rearrange the equation for a) mass, divide both sides by c and ΔT: m = Q / (cΔT). To rearrange the equation for b) specific heat, divide both sides by m and ΔT: c = Q / (mΔT). And to rearrange the equation for c) change in temperature, divide both sides by m and c: ΔT = Q / (mc).
