Question

Which of the following shows the correct rearrangement of the the heat equation q = mCpΔT to solve for specific heat?


C subscript p equals m q delta T.

C subscript p equals StartFraction q m over delta T EndFraction.

C subscript p equals StartFraction q over m delta T EndFraction.

Answer 1

Start with q = m Cp ΔT. Divide both sides by m ΔT to isolate Cp:

Cp = q / (m ΔT).

So the third option ("C_p = q over m ΔT") is correct.
