Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy (in Joules) needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
Below are the specific heat capacities of the substances from Part 1.
Label them with the substance they correspond to.
4.18 J/g °C 1.00 J/g °C 0.80 J/g °C 0.60 J/g °C
How do you think we are to answer this when you don't tell us the metals in part 1?
To label the specific heat capacities with their corresponding substances, you would need to refer to a source or data table that provides this information. Without that context, it is not possible to accurately label the specific heat capacities.
However, I can explain how you can find specific heat capacity values for substances. The specific heat capacity of a substance can be obtained from scientific literature, textbooks, or online databases that provide such information. One commonly used reference is the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, which provides extensive data on various physical and chemical properties, including specific heat capacities.
If you have access to a specific substance and want to determine its specific heat capacity, you can conduct an experiment known as calorimetry. In this experiment, you would measure the mass of the substance and then heat it to a known temperature using a known amount of heat energy. By monitoring the temperature change, you can calculate the specific heat capacity using the formula:
q = m × c × ΔT
Where:
q is the heat energy transferred
m is the mass of the substance
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
By rearranging the formula, you can solve for the specific heat capacity (c):
c = q / (m × ΔT)
By measuring the heat energy (q), mass (m), and change in temperature (ΔT), you can calculate the specific heat capacity (c) of the substance.
Remember that specific heat capacity can vary depending on the substance and its state (solid, liquid, or gas), so it is essential to ensure you have accurate and relevant data for a specific substance.
