News: Welcome to Homework Discussion Forum. This Open Source Homework Discussion Forum is for students to share their essays, book reports, technical reports, notes, projects, or any school work they've done with the community and other students who are doing research to get ideas and answers to their own homework. They'll be able to ask and comment on the work you've done because you are the expert in the work you've done. Students can also post their work in progress for advice and opinions on content, grammar, double checking your work, etc. It's a collective effort by students and for students. Please do be careful when downloading Word and Excel documents containing Macros. PDF format is preferred.

Substance A has a specific heat capacity of 0.650 J/g*K and substance B has a specific heat capacity of 0.325 J/g*K.  If 100 Jouls of heat energy is applied to a 10g sample od each substance, which substance will have a higher tempature? Why?



im lost..... Huh?

Substance B, the one with the lower specific heat, will have the greater temperature rise. Specific heat tells you how much heat (in J) it takes to raise a unit mass (1 g) a unit temperature (1 K). Since the masses are the same (10 g), we can look only at 1 g of each {why can I do that?}. It takes 0.325 J to raise 1 g of substance B 1 K and it takes 0.650 J to raise substance A 1 K. So, for equal amounts of heat, B rises to a higher temperature. Now, your turn.
Give the formula for this. If you don't know the formula, use dimensional analysis. If you don't know dimensional analysis, come back and ask. So, please show your work.

You seem to be very talent in science. Which grade you got inscience?
