Question

A laboratory burner transfers 309 J of thermal energy into a 100. g borosilicate glass beaker, causing its temperature to rise by 3.69 °C. What is the specific heat of borosilicate glass?

Answer 1

When borosilicate glass is undergoing change in temperature, heat is transferred.  The specific heat of borosilicate glass is 837.4 J/kg. °C

What is specific heat?

The specific heat is the amount of heat stored per kilogram of substance by 1 degree rise in temperature.

Given is the mass of borosilicate glass m =100 g =0.1 kg, heat transferred Q = 309J, temperature change ΔT = 3.69°C

Q = m x Cp x  ΔT

309 = 0.1 x Cp x 3.69

Cp = 837.4 J/kg. °C

Thus, the specific heat of borosilicate glass is 837.4 J/kg. °C
