the specific heat of sliver is 0.235j /g.c. how much heat is neeeded to raise the tempreature of an 8 gram sliver ring be 50 degrees celecius
The answer should be 9.0 x 10 to the fifth power
To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance, such as a silver ring, you can use the equation:
Q = m * c * ΔT
where:
Q is the amount of heat (in Joules),
m is the mass of the substance (in grams),
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/g·°C), and
ΔT is the change in temperature (in °C).
Given:
m (mass of silver ring) = 8 grams
c (specific heat of silver) = 0.235 J/g·°C
ΔT (change in temperature) = 50 °C
Now, substitute the given values into the equation:
Q = (8 g) * (0.235 J/g·°C) * (50 °C)
Calculating:
Q = 94 J
Therefore, the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the 8 gram silver ring by 50 degrees Celsius is 94 Joules.
