Question

Calculate the specific heat of a piece of wood if 2000 g of wood absorbs 75,250 J of heat, and its temperature changes from 30°C to 50°C.

A 37.63
B) 0.53
C) 1.88
D
752.50

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The specific heat capacity=quantity of heat in joule/mass×change in temperature

from this question the quantity of heat is 75250,the mass is 2000 and the change in temperature is 50-30

which is 20

therefore

c=75250/2000×20

c=75250/40000

c=1.88

I hope this helps
