Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. It is the amount per unit mass that is required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. Every substance has its own specific heat and each has its own distinct value. The units of specific heat are joules per gram-degree Celsius (J/f C) and sometimes J/Kg K may also be used.
In order to solve this, we need to make use of Hess' Law.
We are already given the equations and their corresponding deltaH. Using Hess' Law, we can generate this equation:
104 kJ = x - (-1182 kJ) - (-1144 kJ)
Among the choices, the answer is
<span>B.104 = x - [(-1182) + (-1144)]
