Question

If 125 j of heat energy is applied to a block of silver weighing 29.3 g, by how many degrees will the tem- perature of the silver increase?

Answer 1

In order to solve the problem, we should know the heat capacity of silver. Which is equal to 0.240 J/g C

The formula: H = mCpT
Where h is the energy applied
M is the mass
Cp is the specific heat
T is the change in temperature

125 J = ( 29.3 g ) ( 0.240 J/g C)
T Solve for T
T = 17.78 degree C increase
