Question

Use the table to complete the sentence.

Substance Specific Heat (cal/g·°C)
Water 1.0
Ice 0.5
Glass 0.16
Silver 0.06


One gram of glass will rise 10° C when
calories of heat are applied.

Answer 1

Use Q = m c ΔT. With m = 1 g, c = 0.16 cal/g·°C, ΔT = 10°C:

Q = 1 × 0.16 × 10 = 1.6 calories.

So 1.6 calories of heat.
