Question

A 50,0 g silver spoon at 20.0°C is placed in a cup of coffee at

Answer 1

The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.

Heat capacity of the silver spoon

The heat capacity of theb silver spoon is the quantity of heat absorbed by the silver spoon. The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

where;

• m is mass of the spoon
• c is specific heat capacity of silver = 0.237 J/g⁰C
• Δθ is change in temperature

Q = 50 x 0.237 x (89 - 20)

Q = 817.65 J

Thus, the heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.
