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
It is an example of a Chemical change.
The correct answer is option 1. The balanced reaction represents that a bond is broken and energy is absorbed. Cl2 are held by covalent bonds that are strong. Therefore, energy is required to break these bonds. The energy supplied is absorbed for the reaction to proceed.
Don’t worry, you’re right :)
