Question

A piece of solid substance weights 4.0 g, and requires 150 J to increase its temperature from 30.0 degrees Celsius to 40.0 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat capacity of the substance?

Expert Solution

Introduction

The certain heat energy amount that is applicable in the enhancement of substance's temperature per unit of its amount/mass is addressed as "specific heat capacity".

Given

The mass of the substance is 4.0 g.

The initial temperature (T₁) is 30.0 degrees C.

The final temperature (T₂) is 40.0 degrees C.

The heat energy is 150 J.

Solution

The formula for the calculation of the specific heat capacity is shown below.
