Answer to Question #223622 in Physical Chemistry for Shaan

Question

1) 89.3 Joules of heat is required to raise the temperature of 10.0 grams of copper by 100 degrees celsius . Calculate the heat capacity of copper?

2) 88.2 Joules of heat raises temperature of 45.8 grams lead by 15.0 degrees celsius. Calculate the specific heat capacity of lead?

Answer 1

1) q = m.c.∆T

= 89.3 × 10 × 100

= 89300joules

2) 88.2 × 45.8 × 15

= 60593.4 Joules
