Chapter 1, Problem 1.109CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific heat of given goblet has to be calculated and commend whether the goblet is made of gold or not.

Concept introduction:

• Specific heat capacity: The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of (1 gm) of a substance by $(1°C)$ is called the specific heat of the substance, it is measured in unites of $cal/(g.°C)$

$Specificheat=\frac{Calories}{grams\times {}^{°}C}$

• The relationship between amount of heat and the raising temperature of substances is,

$Heat(cal)=Mass(g)\times TempertureChange(\Delta °C)\times Specificheat\left(\frac{cal}{g.°C}\right)$

• The specific heat of gold is $0.031\left(\frac{cal}{g.°C}\right)$
