Chapter 8, Problem 2QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When gold absorbs 1.33 J of energy, the change in temperature needs to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Relation between specific heat, mass and change in temperature is as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Q=}\text{mCΔT}\\ \text{where,}\\ \text{Q=amount}\text{of}\text{energy(J)}\\ \text{m}\text{=}\text{mass}\text{of}\text{substance}\text{(g)}\\ \text{C=}\text{specific}\text{heat}\text{(J/g}\text{.°C)}\\ \text{ΔT}\text{=}{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}{\text{-T}}_{\text{1}}\text{=}\text{change}\text{in}\text{temperature}\end{array}$
