What is the specific heat of a 75.01 g piece of an unknown metal that exhibits a 45.2°C temperature change upon absorbing 1870 J of heat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Cp=0.552\frac{J}{g\°C}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the formula to compute the required heat based on the mass, specific heat and change in temperature is widely known as:

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

In such a way, since we are asked to compute the specific heat, we solve for it as shown below:

[tex]Cp=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}=\frac{1870J}{75.01g*45.2\°C} \\ \\Cp=0.552\frac{J}{g\°C}[/tex]

Best regards.

The specific heat of the metal exhibiting 45.2 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] temperature change has been 0.55 J/g.[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].

The specific heat can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The expression can be given as:

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

where, Q = heat required = 1870 J

m = mass = 75.01 g

c = specific heat capacity

[tex]\Delta[/tex]T = change in temperature = 45.2 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

1870 J = 75.01 g [tex]\times[/tex] c [tex]\times[/tex] 45.2 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

c = [tex]\rm \dfrac{1870}{75.01\;\times\;45.2}[/tex]

c = 0.55 J/g.[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex]

The specific heat of the metal exhibiting 45.2 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] temperature change has been 0.55 J/g.[tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex].
