The addition of 9.54 kJ of heat is required to raise the temperature of 225.0 g of a liquid hydrocarbon from 20.5 degree C to 45.0 degree C. What is the heat capacity of this hydrocarbon?

Heat capacity of hydrocarbon is  1.73 J/(g. )

Explanation:

Heat capacity of the hydrocarbon = , where q is the amount of heat added, m is mass of hydrocarbon and is the rise in temperature.

Here q = 9.54 kJ = J, m = 225.0 g and = (45.0-20.5) = 24.5

So, heat capacity of hydrocarbon =  = 1.73 J/(g. )
