Why didn't you show what you had tried? Then we could find the error in your work/thinking.
a = mass x specific heat x delta T.
686 = 110 x sp.h. x (172-38)
Solve for sp.h. = ?
The answer is not 0.385
A 110g piece of copper is heated and the temperature changes from 38C to 172C. The heat absorbed is 686 cal. What is the specific heat of copper.
I think the answer is .385, but I have tried 100 different ways to get this answer or anything close, and I am lost..it is just a study review, but I want to know this for the test.Thank you.
