How do i solve specific heat problems?
What does q=mcAt stand for?
Can you solve and explain this problem?
What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 2.5×10^3 joules of heat when a sample of 1.000×10^4g of the substance increases in temp from 10.0C to 70.0C?
q = energy
m = mass
c = specific heat
delta T = tf – ti
2.5 x 10^3 = 1.000 x 10^4 x specific heat ( 70.0 – 10.0)
= 600000 x specific heat
specific heat = 0.00417 J/g°C
