What is the specific heat of copper if a 105 g sample absorbs 15200 joules and the change in temperature is 377 0C ? (Draw a temperature time graph)

Respuesta :

Answer : The specific heat of copper is, [tex]0.384J/g^oC[/tex]

Explanation :

Formula used :

[tex]q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

where,

q = heat absorb = 15200 J

m = mass of sample = 105 g

c = specific heat capacity of copper = ?

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex]377^oC[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]15200J=105g\times c\times 377^oC[/tex]

[tex]c=0.384J/g^oC[/tex]

Therefore, the specific heat of copper is, [tex]0.384J/g^oC[/tex]
