it takes 585 j of energy to raise the temperature of 125.6 g mercury from 20.0c to 53.5c. calculate the specific heat capacity and the molar heat capacity of mercury.

Respuesta :

Specific heat capacity is 139 J/kgC and molar heat capacity is 221 J/C/mol.

To calculate the specific heat capacity we will be using the equation
Q = mC∆T
Where Q = energy added or lost
m = the mass of the substancec = the specific heat of the substance
∆T is the difference in temperature usually written as T2-T1
Given Q=585Jm = 125.6 grams or 0.1256 kg

Where should find c =?
T2 =53.5°CT1 = 20 °C585 = 0.1256x C x(53.5–20)585 =4.2076xC585/4.2076
=139J/kg°C = C
Now,
Using the equation c_m = C/n

Where c_m = molar heat capacity
C = specific heat capacity
n = number of moles in kgc_m = 139/0.628
= 221 J/°C/mol

Therefore, specific heat capacity is 139 J/kgC and molar heat capacity is 221 J/C/mol.
