A student attempts to measure the specific heat capacity of an unknown liquid through repeated trials. She measures its specific heat capacity, in J/g•°C, as 2.14, 2.11, 2.13, 2.12, and 2.11. The specific heat capacity of the liquid should be recorded as -

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.13

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of the liquid should be recorded as 2.12.

What is specific heat?

The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

By specific heat equation

[tex]Q = mc (T - T_\circ)[/tex]

By knowing the temperature difference, the mass and the c, we can calculate the specific heat capacity.

To calculate the specific heat capacity, we will calculate the average

the data is given 2.14, 2.11, 2.13, 2.12, and 2.11.

2.14 + 2.11 + 2.13 + 2.12 + 2.11 = 10.61

then 10.61 divided by  5

10.61 / 5 = 2.122

Thus, the correct option is D. 2.12
