If 7.24 kJ of heat is applied to a 952-g block of metal, the temperature increases by 10.7 °C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal in J/g °C.
Interpretation:
The specific heat capacity of the metal in
Concept Introduction:
The specific heat is defined as the amount of heat per unit mass needed to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
It is mathematically represented as follows:
Here, Q is heat, m is mass, s is specific heat capacity and
Given Information:
The heat applied is 7.24 kJ, mass of metal block is 952 g and the temperature of metal is increased by
Calculation:
The specific heat capacity can be calculated using the following equation:
On rearranging,
