It requires 350 joules to raise a certain amount of a substance from 10.0°C to 30.0°
c. The specific heat of the substance is 1.2 J/g°
c. What is the mass?

Respuesta :

the answer is 15g, you would use the specific heat formaula

Answer:

[tex]m=14.6g[/tex]

Explanation:

You can use the equation [tex]Q=cm(T_{2}-T_{1})[/tex] where Q is the heat, c is the specific heat of the substance, [tex]T_{2}[/tex] and [tex]T_{1}[/tex] are temperature and m is the mass of the substance.

Solving for m we have:

[tex]m=\frac{Q}{c(T_{2}-T_{1})}[/tex]

The problem gives you the information about the variables:

[tex]Q=350J[/tex]

[tex]c=1.2\frac{J}{g^{o}C}[/tex]

[tex]T_{1}=10.0^{o}C[/tex]

[tex]T_{2}=30.0^{o}C[/tex]

Replacing that values:

[tex]m=\frac{350J}{1.2\frac{J}{g^{o}C}(30.0^{o}C-10.0^{o}C)}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{350J}{1.2\frac{J}{g^{o}C}(20.0^{o}C)}[/tex]

[tex]m=14.6g[/tex]
