A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.465 kg. If 3,000.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 50.0°C to 100.0°C, what is the specific heat of the substance?
Use q equals m C subscript p Delta T..
0.00775 J/(gi°C)
0.0600 J/(gi°C)
0.129 J/(gi°C)
0.155 J/(gi°C)

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.129J(gioc)

Explanation:

The basic formula for specific heat is Q=MC∆t, where m is the mass, C is the specific heat, and ∆t is the change in temperature.

The parameters given are Q= 3000j = 3kj, mass is 0.465 and ∆t is (100-50)= T2-T1

By imputing them we have;

Q=MC∆T

30= 0.465xCx(100-50)

3=23.25C

C= 3/23.25

=0.129J(gioC

Using the formula of specific heat, the specific heat of the substance described is 0.129J(gi°c) (Option C)

What is specific heat?

Specific Heat is described in chemistry as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a given substance's unit mass by a particular amount (usually one degree).

What is the solution to the problem above?

We arrive at the solution by using the basic formula for specific heat   ⇒ Q = MC∆t,.

It is to be noted that:

m =  mass,

C =   specific heat, and

∆t =  change in temperature.

The parameters given are Q= 3000j = 3kj, mass is 0.465 and ∆t is (100-50)= T2-T1

Inserting the values for the factors above, we have:

30= 0.465 x C x (100-50)

Divide both sides by 10 we have

3 = 23.25C

Make "C" the subject of the formula and we have

C = 3/23.25

Hence,

=0.129J (gi°C)
