Principles of Heat Flow
Titanium is a metal used in jet engines. Its specific heat is 0.523 J/g
°C. If S.SS g of titanium absorb 4.78 J, what is the change in temperature?
Interpretation:When titanium absorbs 4.78 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:
Answer to Problem 1QAP
Change in temperature is 1.55°C.
Explanation of Solution
Mass of titanium, m = 5.88 g
Amount of energy absorbed, Q = 4.78 J
Specific heat of titanium, C = 0.523 J/g.°C
Plugging values to calculate change in temperature as:
Thus, the change in temperature is 1.55°C.
