Question

The specific heat of silver is 0.235 J/gx °C. How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of an 8-gram silver ring by 50°C

Answer 1

Heat needed to increase the temperature by 50°C is 94 j.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of silver = 0.235 j/g.°C

Heat needed to increase temperature = ?

Mass of silver = 8 g

Temperature difference = ΔT= 50°C

Solution:

Formula:

q = mcΔT

c = specific heat capacity of substance

Now we will put the values i formula.

q = 8 g× 0.235 J/g.°C× 50°C

q = 94 J

Heat needed to increase the temperature by 50°C is 94 j.
