The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.06 cal/g°C. How much energy is needed to flow into a 5-gram sample to change its temperature from 10°C to 11°C?

Respuesta :

The answer is 0.3 cal.

Answer : Energy needed, Q = 0.3 cal

Explanation :

Given that,

The specific heat capacity of silver, c = 0.06 cal/g °C

Mass of the sample, m = 5 grams

It changes its temperature from 10°C to 11°C, [tex]\Delta T=1^oC[/tex]

Energy need to flow is given by :

[tex]Q=mc\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]Q=5\ g\times 0.06\ cal/g\ ^oC\times 1^oC[/tex]

[tex]Q=0.3\ cal[/tex]

So, the energy needed to flow into this sample is 0.3 cal

Hence, this is the required solution.
