What is the specific heat of a 123 g substance that requires 4.56 J of heat in order to increase its temperature by 12.32 °C?

A) 0.00301 J/g °C

B) 0.457 J/g °C

0 6910 J/g °C

D) 2.19 J/g °C

E) 0.0220 J/g°C

 A.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q = Heat absorbed  = 4.56 J

m = mass of substance = 123 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Change in temperature ,

Putting in the values, we get:

The specific heat of a 123 g substance that requires 4.56 J of heat in  order to increase its temperature by 12.32 °C is
