Question

Which of the following substance would show the greatest temperature change upon absorbing 100 J of heat? A)

10.0 g H2O, CH2O = 4.18 J/g°C
B)

10.0 g Au, CAu = 0.128 J/g°C
C)

10.0 g ethanol, Cethanol = 2.42 J/g°C
D)

10.0 g Fe, CFe = 0.449 J/g°C
E)

10.0 g Ag, CAg = 0.235 J/g°C

How exactly do I figure the answer for this out?

Answer 1

what do you think ???

Answer 2

Q= MSDelta T
Q/MS= Delta T
where Q is energy in joules
M is mass of material
S is specific heat capacity
it seems the Delta T is inversely proprtional to Specfic heat capacity

Answer 3

since Mass of all material is constant !!:)right

Answer 4

now can u answer LOL:)

Answer 5

hello say somethin LOL @lalokio

Answer 6

Sorry left my computer on last night ... So we have 100 J/ 10 g ethanol * .128 J / g C = 78.12J / g C which is the greatest temperature change i get from all four :D

Answer 7

LOL u calculate for all and tell me !!!u calculate delta T for all :)

Answer 8

Yeah ! Is there a shorter way to find out the answer?

Answer 9

The answer is B) 10.0 g Au, CAu = 0.128 J/g°C

Answer 10

yaaa !!smaller the S value larger the temperature difference ur right BingOOOOO!!!1

Answer 11

Awesome! Thank you so much :D

Answer 12

ur welcome :)

Answer 13

and dont go to bed without swith offing the computer LOL:) save electrons mean current:)
enjoy Chemistry

Answer 14

Okay, I'll try my best to turn it off when I go to bed.

Answer 15
