If it takes 10.0 kj of heat to raise the temperature of 100.0g if a substance by 50°c, what is the specific heat of the substance?

2.0 J/g°C

Explanation:

We are given;

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of the substance;

Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature

That is;

Q = mcΔT

Rearranging the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore;

c = 10000 J ÷ (100.0 g × 50°C)

  = 2.0 J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat of the substance is 2.0 J/g°C

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
