Specific heat of Aluminium is 0.89 g/J
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Specific heat of a substance is the energy absorbed by a substance of unit mass when its temperature increases by one degree.
Energy Absorbed = Specific Heat * Mass of the substance * Temperature Difference
Step 2 :
It is given that 120 g sample absorbs 9612 J energy when the temperature increases from 298K to 388K.
Temperature Difference = 388 K - 298 K = 90 K
Step 3:
Specific Heat = (Energy Absorbed) ÷ (Mass of the substance * Temperature Difference)
Specific Heat = 9612 ÷ (120 * 90) = 0.89 grams / Joule
Step 4:
Answer:
Specific heat of Aluminium is 0.89 g/J
