Answer to Question #140181 in General Chemistry for Jennefer Hinkle

Question

If 125 J of heat of energy is applied to a block of silver weighting 29.3 g, by how many degrees will the temperature of the silver increase?

Answer 1

In order to solve the problem, we should know the heat capacity of silver.

Which is equal to 0.240 J/g C.

 The formula: H = mCpT

Where H is the energy applied

M is the mass

Cp is the specific

heat T is the change in temperature 

125 J = ( 29.3 g ) ( 0.240 J/g C)

T Solve for T T = 17.78 degree C increase
