Question

How much energy is required to rise the temperature of unit mass of substance

(material) by 1o

C ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The energy required to raise a mass of 1 centigrade (K or ºC), is:

specific massic heat of the substance, multiplied by its mass and 1 centigrade.

In the case of 1 kilogram of water:

E = (4180 J/(kg*K)) * 1 kg * 1K = 4180 J.

You can also use the specific molar heat with the number of moles.
