The mass of the piece of wood is 35.58 g.
Joule = M × T × C
Where, M = mass
T = change in temperature(42C-23C=19 C)
C = specific heat capacity = 1.716 joules/gram
Substituting the values in the equation,
1160 = M × 19 × 1.716
M = 1160/32.604 = 35.58 g
Therefore, the mass of the piece of wood = 35.58 g
<h3>What is meant by specific heat capacity?</h3>
A material's specific heat capacity, which is defined as its heat capacity divided by its mass, determines how much energy is required to increase a gram's temperature by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)
<h3>What is mass?</h3>
Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body.
