Question

if 11.7.60 joules of heat acquires to raise the temperature of 10g silver through 50C.Calculate the specific heat of silver

Answer 1

Answer:-

• Heat=117.6J
• Mass=10g=0.01kg
• Temperature=50°C

Convert to kelvin

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 50+273=323K$

We know

$\boxed{\sf Specific\:Heat=\dfrac{Heat}{Mass\times Temperature}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Specific\:Heat=\dfrac{117.6}{323\times 0.01}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Specific\;Heat=\dfrac{117.6}{3.23}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Specific\:Heat=36.4JKg^{-1}K^{-1}$
