how can i find heat capacity of silver without there being a temperature in the problem the problem only lists the mass of the silver
To find the heat capacity of silver without a specified temperature, you can use the equation:
Q = mcΔT
where:
- Q is the heat transferred to or from the substance (in Joules)
- m is the mass of the substance (in kilograms)
- c is the specific heat capacity of the substance (in J/kg·K)
- ΔT is the change in temperature (in Kelvin)
Since the question only provides the mass of silver, we need additional information to calculate its heat capacity. The specific heat capacity of a substance is generally known and can be found in reference books or online databases. For silver, the specific heat capacity is approximately 235 J/kg·K.
However, if the problem does not provide any temperature information, it may not be possible to determine the heat capacity accurately. Temperature is an essential factor in calculating heat capacity as it quantifies the change in thermal energy. Without temperature values, it is difficult to assess the heat transfer accurately or the heat capacity of silver in this scenario.
