What amount of heat absorbs 50 g of steel (ce = 0.115 cal / g. ° C) that
does its temperature vary by 25 ° C?
Answer:
143.75cal
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of steel = 50g
Specific heat capacity of the steel = 0.115cal/g°C
Temperature = 25°C
Unknown:
Amount of heat = ?
Solution:
The amount of heat to cause this temperature change is dependent on mass and specific heat capacity of the substance.
Amount of heat = m C (ΔT)
m is the mass
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature change
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Amount of heat = 50 x 0.115 x 25
Amount of heat = 143.75cal
Since the exponent is negative, you move the decimal (2.0) to the left two spots leaving you with .02
