0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.
Explanation:
Given:
mass (m) = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg
Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules
Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K
cp (specific heat capacity) = ?
the formula used for heat absorbed and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:
q = mc Δ T
c =
c =
= 0.208 J/gm K
specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K
The specific heat capacity is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.
Answer:- 64015 J
Solution: There is 4250 mL of water in the calorimeter at 22.55 degree C.
density of water is 1 g per mL.
So, the mass of water = = 4250 g
Final temperature of water after adding the hot copper bar to it is 26.15 degree C.
So, for water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.60 degree C
Specific heat for water is 4.184
The heat gained by water is calculated by using the formula:
where, q is the heat energy, m is mass and c is specific heat.
Let's plug in the values in the formula and do the calculations:
q = 64015 J
So, 64015 J of heat is gained by the water.
