A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes
1 answer:
0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.
Explanation:
Given:
mass (m) = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg
Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules
Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K
cp (specific heat capacity) = ?
the formula used for heat absorbed and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:
q = mc Δ T
c =
c =
= 0.208 J/gm K
specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K
The specific heat capacity is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Movement of particles in a substance is responsible for change in state of the substance or matter.
This means that more is the motion of particles more will be their kinetic energy.
Also, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.
K.E =
So, less is the temperature of an object or substance less will be be the motion of its particles. Therefore, molecules will come closer to each other and state of substance will change from liquid to solid.
Thus, we can conclude that the motion of the molecules would decrease at a molecular level if a liquid is placed in cool conditions.
