dE = q + w
You know dE and work. Solve for q.
Then q = mass gas x specific heat gas x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
Substitute and solve for speific heat.
An 80.0-gram sample of a gas was heated from 25 °C to 225 °C. During this process, 346 J of work was done by the system and its internal energy increased by 8305 J. What is the specific heat of the gas?
