What must be the specific heat of a sample of an unknown material of 36.359g, when 59.912j of heat are applied raising the temperature 152°c?

0.0108 J/g°C

We are given;

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of the material.

To calculate the specific heat capacity we rearrange the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔT

  = 59.912 J ÷ (36.359 g × 152°C)

  = 0.0108 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the unknown material is 0.0108 J/g°C

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
