Answer:
Cp = 0.142 [cal/g*°C].
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.
[tex]Q=m*c_{p}*(T_{initial}-T_{final})[/tex]
where:
Q = heat energy = 60 [cal]
Cp = specific heat [cal/g*°C]
T_final = final temperature = 10[°C]
T_initial = initial temperature =40[°C]
m = mass of the substance = 14 [g]
Now replacing:
[tex]60=14*C_{p}*(40-10)\\C_{p}=0.142[\frac{cal}{g*C} ][/tex]
