Asked by Meg Hat

A chunk of silver has a heat capacity of 42.8 J for 1ºC and a mass of 181g. Calculate the specific heat of silver.
Answered by drwls
The specific heat (C) is the heat capacity (M*C) divided by the mass (M).

The heat capacity is the energy required to raise the entire mass by 1 degrees C. In this case, it is 42.8 J/C.
42.8/181 = ___ J/(gC)
Answered by jessi
42.8 divided by 181 equals 0.236
