Chapter 11.7, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature increase of the given sample of a pure liquid is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The amount of heatrequired to raise the temperature of a substance is calculated by the expressionas follows:

$q=sm\Delta T$

Here, $q$ is the amount of heat, $s$ is the specific heat, $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature, and $m$ is mass of the substance.

Density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The expression for density, mass, and volume is as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}d=\frac{m}{V}\\ \end{array}$

Here, $d$ is the density, $m$ is the mass, and $V$ is the volume.
