An aluminum can weighing 10 g absorbs 106.8 J of heat and warms by 12 degrees C. What is the specific heat of the aluminum can? Use this scenario to answer questions 6 - 10.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]c_{Al} = 0.89\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex]

Explanation:

The heating process is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

[tex]Q = m \cdot c_{Al}\cdot \Delta T[/tex]

The specific heat of the aluminium can is:

[tex]c_{Al} = \frac{Q}{m\cdot \Delta T}[/tex]

[tex]c_{Al} = \frac{106.8\,J}{(10\,g)\cdot (12^{\circ}C)}[/tex]

[tex]c_{Al} = 0.89\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex]
