Answer:
0.296j/g⁰c
Explanation:
we have the following information from this question before us.
mass iv substance = 50grams
we have initial temperature ti = 20.2⁰c
final temperature = 125⁰c
the energy that was provided = 155kj
we proceed with this formula
energy = mcΔT
1.55x10³ = 50 x c x (125-20.2)
1.55x10³ = c x 50gm x 104.8k
we divide through to get c
c = 1.55x10³/50g x 104.8
c = 0.296J/g⁰c
that is the specific heat of this substance.
thank you!
