Question

The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 J/g °C. How many joules of energy are needed

to warm 0.500 g of silver from 25.0°C to 27.5°C?

Answer 1

0.3 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for heat capacity is Q = mcΔT where Q is the heat, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance and delta T is the change in temperature. Plugging those values into the equation, we have Q = (.500)(0.24)(27.5-25) = 0.3
