Given mass of Scandium = 50.0 g

Increase in temperature of the metal when heated = $61.1^{0}C$

Heat absorbed by Scandium = $1.50*10^{3}J$

The equation showing the relationship between heat, mass, specific heat and temperature change:

$Q = m C (deltaT)$

Where Q is heat = $1.50*10^{3}J$

m is mass = 50.0 g

ΔT = $61.1^{0}C$

On plugging in the values and solving for C(specific heat) we get,

$1.50*10^{3}J$ =50.0g(C)( $61.1^{0}C$ )

C = 0.491 $\frac{J}{g^{0}C }$

Specific heat of the metal = 0.491 $\frac{J}{g^{0}C }$

Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.

The specific heat of copper metal is 0. 385 J/(g °C). How much energy must be added to a 35. 0-gram sample of copper to change t

Rus_ich [418]

The amount of heat required for changing the temperature of copper has been 606 J. Thus, option B is correct.

Specific heat has been defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 degree Celsius.

The heat required to raise the temperature has been expressed as:

$\rm Heat=mass\;\times\;specific\;heat\;\times\;Change\;in\;temperature$
