Answer:

Specific heat capacity, = 1.43 J/g°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10 g

Change in temperature = 140°C

Quantity of heat = 2000 J

To find the specific heat capacity;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

[tex] Q = mcdt[/tex]

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • m represents the mass of an object.
  • c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • dt represents the change in temperature.

Making c the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] c = \frac {Q}{mdt} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] c = \frac {2000}{10*140} [/tex]

[tex] c = \frac {2000}{1400} [/tex]

Specific heat capacity, = 1.43 J/g°C
