- 1-67 If 168 g of an unknown liquid requires 2750 cal of heat to raise its temperature from 26oC to 74oC, what is the specific heat of the liquid?arrow_forward1-86 The specific heats of some elements at 25oC are as follows: aluminum = 0.215 cal/g · oC; carbon (graphite) = 0.170 caI/g oC; iron = 0.107 cal/g mercury = 0.033 1 caI/g oC. (a) Which element would require the smallest amount of heat to raise the temperature of 100 g of the element by 10oC? (b) If the same amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of aluminum by 25oC were applied to 1 g of mercury, by how many degrees would its temperature be raised? (c) If a certain amount of heat is used to raise the temperature of 1.6 g of iron by 10oC, the temperature of 1 g of which element would also be raised by 10oC, using the same amount of heat?arrow_forward1-91 In calculating the specific heat of a substance, the following data are used: mass = 92.15 g; heat = 3.200 kcal; rise in temperature = 45oC. How many significant figures should you report in calculating the specific heat?arrow_forward
