Given 16.2 grams of substance Y, if the substance absorbs 2722 joules of energy and the specific heat of the substance is 9.22 J

snow_tiger [21]

Since the substance absorbs heat, it is expected that the temperature will rise. The formula for the internal energy of a substance is given by the equation:

ΔU = mCpΔT

where:

ΔU = internal energy
m = mass of substance
Cp = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature

ΔU = 2722 Joules = 16.2 grams (9.22 J/g-°C) (Tf - 26°C)

This gives a final temperature of Tf = 44.22 °C
