A piece of unknown solid substance weighs 437.2 g, and requires 8460 J to increase its temperature from 19.3 °C to 68.9 °C.What is the specific heat of the substance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.3832

Explanation:

Givens

m = 437.2 grams

c = ?

delta t = 69.8 - 19.3

H = 8460 J

Formula

H = m*c*Δt

Solution

8460 = 437.2 * c * (69.8 - 19.3)

8460 = 437.2 * c * 50.5

8460 = 22078.6 * c

c = 8460 / 22078,6

c = .3832 J / (oC * gr)
