Answer:

0.14 J/g°C.

Explanation:

  • To calculate the specific heat capacity of Hg, we use the relation:

<em>The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT.</em>

where, m is the mass of Hg (m = 50.0 g).

c is the specific heat capacity of Hg = ??? J/g°C.

ΔT is the temperature difference = (final T - initial T = 110.0°C).

∴ The amount of heat absorbed by Hg = Q = m.c.ΔT = 770.0 J.

∴ 770.0 J = (50.0 g)(c)(110.0°C).

<em>∴ c = Q/m.ΔT =</em> (770.0 J)/((50.0 g)(110.0°C) = <em>0.14 J/g°C.</em>

What is the amount of heat released by 1.00 gram of liquid water at 0°C when it changes to 1.00 gram of ice at 0°C?
QveST [7]

Answer:

334J/g

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass (m) = 1g

Specific heat of Fusion (Hf) = 334 J/g

Heat (Q) =?

Using the equation Q = m·Hf, we can obtain the heat released as follow:

Q = m·Hf

Q = 1 x 334

Q = 334J

Therefore, the amount of heat released is 334J
