If the addition of 2,000 joules of heat to 10 kilograms of a substance raises it's temperature 2 degrees,the specific heat of the substance is. a. 0.01j/kg degrees. b. 0.2j/kg degrees. c. 50 j/kg degrees d. 100 j/kg degrees e. 200j j/kg degrees

All you have to do is use the definition of specific heat, C.

C = Q/(M*deltaT)= 2000/(10*2.0) = ?

Q is the heat added and "delta T" is the rise in temperature. M is the mass. Those are the symbols usually used. you may encounter others.

Familiarize yourself with the equation, which should be easy to find in your textbook or class notes.

Now do the calculation and make your choice.

I'm sorry, I do not understand what "qeazsxgchv" means. Can you please provide me with more information or ask a specific question?

Well, let's see. To find the specific heat of a substance, we can use the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat added, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

In this case, we have Q = 2000 J, m = 10 kg, and ΔT = 2 degrees. Plugging these values into the equation, we get 2000 J = 10 kg * c * 2 degrees.

Now, let's solve for c. Dividing both sides of the equation by (10 kg * 2 degrees), we get c = 2000 J / (10 kg * 2 degrees). Doing the math, we find c = 100 J / kg degrees.

So, the specific heat of the substance is 100 J/kg degrees, which means the answer is option d. 100 J/kg degrees.

I hope that helps, or at the very least, didn't heat up your brain too much!

To find the specific heat of a substance, we can use the formula:

Q = mcΔT

Where:
Q = heat energy added (in joules)
m = mass of the substance (in kilograms)
c = specific heat of the substance (in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius or J/kg°C)
ΔT = change in temperature (in degrees Celsius)

In this case, we are given:
Q = 2,000 joules
m = 10 kilograms
ΔT = 2 degrees Celsius

Rearranging the formula, we get:

c = Q / (m * ΔT)

Substituting the given values, we have:

c = 2,000 joules / (10 kilograms * 2 degrees Celsius)
c = 2,000 joules / 20 kilograms
c = 100 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C)

Therefore, the specific heat of the substance is 100 J/kg°C.

The correct answer is d. 100 J/kg°C.
