Question

Specific heat of copper is 0.387 J/(g:K). What is its heat capacity?

Answer 1

Heat capacity : st is defined as. the amount of neat reauired to raise the temperature of a substance by ic. specific heat :- st is defined as the heat reau'red to chanse the temp. of substance by to for unit mass of a substance. now. In this prooblem. Specific neat = 0.387 5/gK) 0.387 5 of heat reauired to chanse temp. by t for sg. of substance, ne the Now, Heat capacity = (specific heat x amountin! grams). for en atomic mass = 6315 g/mel. So, for a mole of all, Heat capacity = (0.387X63.5) 5/mol = .24.57 g/mol. so you can calcenate heat capacity by multipying (specific heat y desired mass)
