It requires 350 joules to raise a certain amount of a substance from 10. 0°C to 30. 0°C. The specific heat of the substance is 1. 2 J/g°C. What is the mass of the substance? 12 g 15 g 18 g 30 g.

Respuesta :

The correct option is B which is 15 g.

Given to us:

the heat  [tex]Q= 350\ Joules[/tex],

the specific heat [tex]c= 1.2\ J/g\ ^o C[/tex],

the lower temperature [tex]t_1= 10^o C[/tex],

the higher temperature [tex]t_2= 30^o C[/tex],

Formula for specific heat:

[tex]Q=mc(\Delta T)[/tex]

where,

[tex]m[/tex] is the mass,

[tex](\Delta T)[/tex] is the temperature difference,

Putting in the values;

[tex]350=m\times 1.2\times (30-10)\\\\m= \dfrac{350}{1.2\times (30-10)} \\\\m=14.5833 grams[/tex]

Hence, the mass is 14.5833 grams. therefore, the correct option is B which is 15 g.
