Question

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 100 grams substance through 10c is 100 cal.What is the specific heat capacity of the substance?

Answer 1

$\huge{Emma}$

Mass of substance = m = 100g

Q=mS∆T

Temperature difference , ∆T = 10°C

S= Q/∆T

Amount oh heat supplied,

Q = 1000 cal

$s = \frac{1000}{100 \times 10}$

Specific heat capacity , S = ?

S = 1 cal /g-°C

Answer 2

Heya!

Here is ur answer.

Given,

Mass(m) = 100g

Change in temp.(ΔT ) = 10°C

Heat supplied(Q) = 1000 cal

As we know,

Q = mSΔT

S = Q/mΔT

S = 1000/100× 10

S = 1

Therefore, the specific heat = 1°/g-C°
