Answer :
Answer: A. [tex]0.00301J/g^0C[/tex]
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]
Q = Heat absorbed = 4.56 J
m = mass of substance = 123 g
c = specific heat capacity = ?
Change in temperature ,[tex]\Delta T=T_f-T_i=12.32^0C[/tex]
Putting in the values, we get:
[tex]4.56J=123g\times c\times 12.32^0C[/tex]
[tex]c=0.00301J/g^0C[/tex]
The specific heat of a 123 g substance that requires 4.56 J of heat in order to increase its temperature by 12.32 °C is [tex]0.00301J/g^0C[/tex]
