Answer to Question #256462 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Aminu Adj

Question

Determine the specific heat capacity of metal block

Answer 1

By definition, the specific heat capacity of metal block is given as follows:

$$c = \dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}$$

where $m$ is the mass of the block and $Q$ is the amount of heat energy that should be passed to the block in order to increase its temperature by $\Delta T$.
