Answer: The specific heat for iron is [tex]0.459J/g^0C[/tex]
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]
Q = Heat absorbed= 1050 Joules
m= mass of substance = 220.0 g
c = specific heat capacity = ?
Initial temperature = [tex]T_i[/tex] = 10.0°C
Final temperature = [tex]T_f[/tex] = 20.4°C
Change in temperature ,[tex]\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(20.4-10.0)^0C=10.4^0C[/tex]
Putting in the values, we get:
[tex]1050=220.0\times c\times 10.4^0C[/tex]
[tex]c=0.459J/g^0C[/tex]
The specific heat for iron is [tex]0.459J/g^0C[/tex]
