Answer:
[tex]c=0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a sample, m = 12 g
Heat absobed by the sample, Q = 96 J
It was heated from 20°C to 40°C.
We need to find the specific heat of a material. The heat absorbed by a sample is given by :
[tex]Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{96}{12\times (40-20)}\\\\=0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C[/tex]
So, the specific heat of the material is [tex]0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C[/tex].
The specific heat of the 12-gram material when temperature changes from 20°C to 40°C is 400 joule per kg K.
What is thermodynamics?
It is a branch of science that deals with heat and work transfer.
The specific heat of material if a 12-g sample absorbed 96 J as it was heated from 20°C to 40°C.
The specific heat is given as
[tex]Q = mc \Delta T[/tex]
where
m = mass
c = heat capacity
ΔT = change in temperature
Q = heat
Then we have
[tex]c = \dfrac{Q}{m \Delta T}\\\\c = \dfrac{96}{12\times 10^{-3} \times (40-20)}\\\\c = \dfrac{8\times 10^3}{20}\\\\c = 400\ \ \rm \dfrac{J}{kg \ K}[/tex]
