Exactly 123.7 J will raise the temperature of 10.0 g of a metal from 25.0°C to 60.0°C.What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specific heat capacity (c) can be calculated using the formula: q = mcΔT, where q is the heat added (123.7 J), m is the mass (10.0 g), and ΔT is the change in temperature (60.0°C - 25.0°C = 35.0°C). Solving for c gives c = q / (mΔT) = 123.7 J / (10.0 g * 35.0°C) = 0.353 J/g°C.
