Answer:
c = 0.377 J/g.°C
c = 0.2350 J/g.°C
J = 27.3 J
Explanation:
We can calculate the heat (Q) absorbed or released by a substance using the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
where,
c: specific heat
m: mass
ΔT: change in the temperature
It takes 49.0J to raise the temperature of an 11.5g piece of unknown metal from 13.0°C to 24.3°C. What is the specific heat for the metal? Express your answer numerically, in J/g.°C
Q = c × m × ΔT
49.0 J = c × 11.5 g × (24.3°C - 13.0°C)
c = 0.377 J/g.°C
The molar heat capacity of silver is 25.35 J/mol.°C. How much energy would it take to raise the temperature of 11.5g of silver by 10.1°C? Express your answer numerically, in Joules. What is the specific heat of silver?
The molar mass of silver is 107.87 g/mol. The specific heat of silver is:
[tex]\frac{25.35J}{mol.\° C} .\frac{mol}{107.87g} =0.2350J/g.\° C[/tex]
Q = c × m × ΔT
Q = (0.2350 J/g.°C) × 11.5 g × 10.1°C = 27.3 J
