Question

if a jeweler uses 1072 J of energy to warm up 4.91 g of silver from 25 degrees celsius to its melting point, what is the melting point of silver?

Answer 1

954 C (according to the numbers given)

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific heat of silver = 235 J/(kg-K)

25 C = 298.15 K

4.91 / 1000 * ( K - 298.15 K) * 235 = 1072 J

K = melting point = 1227.2 K

= 954 C

Answer 2

961.78 C

Step-by-step explanation:

961.78 C is the melting point of silver
