OpenStudy (anonymous):

anybody have any suggestions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the change it t?

OpenStudy (atlas):

any substance at 0 Kelvin is said to have 0 energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would the answer be? the choices are 30 kcal 2.10x10*4 2.40x10*4 2.77x10*4

OpenStudy (atlas):

Heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree celsius

OpenStudy (atlas):

u need to know the heat capacity of water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that specific heat? because that is 1.00

OpenStudy (atlas):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i solve it?

OpenStudy (atlas):

this means that 1 calorie of energy can raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsisus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 30 kcal?

OpenStudy (atlas):

can you try to find out how far is 0 kelvin from 60 degree celsius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

213.15

OpenStudy (atlas):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

online

OpenStudy (atlas):

wrong....... see 273.15 on the kelvin scale is same as 0 on the celsius scale so 60 on the celsius scale is 273.15+60 on the Kelvin scale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but then how do i solve the answer im fixing to run out of time to submit my answer.

OpenStudy (atlas):

you are desperate to find the answer and not understanding the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i use the q=mct formula?

OpenStudy (rajat97):
