Question

It takes 560 J of energy to raise the temperature of 130.6 g mercury from 20.0°C to 66.5 °C.
Calculate the specific heat capacity of mercury.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0922 J/g°C

Explanation:

Use the formula Q=mc(delta)T. My teacher called it "M"cat to help my class remember it. Q-energy(560J) M-mass(130.6g) c(specific heat) is what you are solving for and delta T is the change in temperature(66.5-20.0). Put these values in the formula and solve for c.
