The answer to this question would be: 0.385 j/g°c

Specific heat is the amount of energy needed to increase 1 degree of celcius per one gram of a specific mass. In this question, it needs 83.9 j/°c energy to increase the temperature of 218 g copper. Then, the specific heat would be: (83.9 j/°c) / 218g= 0.38486 j/g°c

A slice of pizza has 500 kcal. If we could burn the pizza and use all the heat to warm a 50-L container of cold water, what woul

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

10°C

Explanation:

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by the slice of pizza

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times \Delta T=Q$

<u>For water: </u>

Volume = 50.0 L

Density of water= 1 kg/L

So, mass of the water:

$Mass\ of\ water=Density \times {Volume\ of\ water}$

$Mass\ of\ water=1 kg/L \times {50.0\ L}$

Mass of water = 50 kg

Specific heat of water = 1 kcal/kg°C

ΔT = ?

For slice of pizza:

Q = 500 kcal

So,

$50\times 1\times \Delta T=500$

ΔT = 10°C

Increase in temperature = 10°C
