It takes 18.2 kJ of energy to raise the temperature of 55.2g of an unknown liquid from 30.0°C to 47.0°C.What is the specific heat of the unknown liquid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specific heat (c) is calculated using the formula: c = q / (m * ΔT), where q = 18.2 kJ = 18200 J, m = 55.2 g, and ΔT = 47.0°C - 30.0°C = 17.0°C. Plugging in these values gives c = 18200 J / (55.2 g * 17.0°C) = 19.4 J/(g ∙ °C).
