Heat Capacity and Calorimetry

AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5

A 100.0 g block of metal absorbs 750 J as it warms from 25.0 °C to 50.0 °C.

q (J) ΔT (°C) slope = 1/(mc)

What is the specific heat of the metal?

  • A

    0.030 J/g·°C

  • B

    0.300 J/g·°C

    check_circle
  • C

    3.00 J/g·°C

  • D

    0.500 J/g·°C

Explanation

c = q/(mΔT) = 750/(100.0 · 25.0) = 0.300 J/g·°C.
