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;
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
