Respuesta :

Q= c m T (T is the change in time)

C= Q/(mT)
= 266/(0.015kg x 25)
C=709.33 J/kg.C

Answer:

[tex]c=0.709\ J/g\ ^{\circ} C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required to raise the temperature, Q = 266 J

Mass, m = 15 g

Temperature, [tex]\Delta T=25^{\circ}\ C[/tex]

To find,

The specific heat of graphite.

Solution,

The formula for the specific heat is given by :

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

[tex]c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}[/tex]

[tex]c=\dfrac{266\ J}{15\times 25}[/tex]

[tex]c=0.709\ J/g\ ^{\circ} C[/tex]

So, the specific heat capacity of graphite is [tex]0.709\ J/g\ ^{\circ} C[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
