11D Specific Heat Calculations

Front

What is the specific heat of copper?

Back

0.39 J/g °C

Front

What is the formula for calculating change in temperature (∆T) using the heat equation?

Back

∆T = Q / (m * c)

Front

Why is a low specific heat desirable for a skillet used in cooking?

Back

A low specific heat allows the skillet to change temperature quickly.

Front

What does the symbol 'c' represent in thermodynamics?

Back

Specific heat.

Front

If 100 Joules of heat is added to 20 grams of copper, what is the temperature change (∆T)?

Back

12.82 °C

Front

What is the specific heat of copper used in the calculation of temperature change?

Back

0.3845 J/g °C

Front

How do you calculate the amount of heat (Q) transferred to an object?

Back

Q = m * c * ∆T

Front

What is the change in temperature if 66,300 J of energy is transferred to 300.0 g of copper?

Back

641 °C

Front

What is the relationship between heat (Q), mass (m), specific heat (c), and change in temperature (∆T)?

Back

Q = m * c * ∆T

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance when heat is added?

Back

The temperature increases, depending on the specific heat.
