Answer:
B.0.2 J/g°C
Explanation:
From the attached picture;
- Heat attained in the solid phase is 200 Joules
- Change in temperature is 50°C ( from 0°C to 50°C)
- Mass of the solid is 20 g
We are required to determine the specific heat capacity of the substance;
- We need to know that Quantity of heat is given by the product of mass,specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
- That is; Q = mcΔT
Rearranging the formula;
c = Q ÷ mΔT
Therefore;
Specific heat = 200 J ÷ (20 g × 50°c)
= 0.2 J/g°C
Thus, the specific heat of the solid is 0.2 J/g°C
