The specific heat : c = 0.306 J/g K
Further explanation
Given
Heat = 35.2 J
Mass = 16 g
Temperature difference : 7.2 K =
Required
The specific heat
Solution
Heat can be calculated using the formula:
Q = mc∆T
Q = heat, J
m = mass, g
c = specific heat, joules / g ° C
∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K
Input the value :
c = Q / m.∆T
c = 35.2 / 16 x 7.2
c = 0.306 J/g K
