Answer:
c = 250.58 J/kg/[tex]^{0}C[/tex]
Explanation:
The specific heat of a substance is the required quantity of heat to increase or decrease the temperature of its unit mas by 1 kelvin.
Q = mcΔθ
where: Q is the quantity of heat absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, c is its specific heat and Δθ is the change in temperature of the substance.
Given that; m = 1.0 kg, Q = 1303 J and Δθ = 5.2 [tex]^{0}C[/tex], then;
c = Q ÷ (mΔθ)
= 1303 ÷ (1.0 × 5.2)
= 1303 ÷ 5.2
= 250.58 J/kg/[tex]^{0}C[/tex]
The specific heat of the object is 250.58 J/kg/[tex]^{0}C[/tex].
