q = m x C x ΔT

q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by substance = -3080J

m = mass of sample in grams = 55.6g

C = heat capacity (J/g•oC) = ?

ΔT = -14.8 oC

C = q/m•ΔT = -3080J/(55.6g)(-14.8 oC) = 3.74J/g•oC

Using the equation C=Q/m/T

Q is heat in Joules

m is mass in grams

C is specific heat in joules/g/C

T is change in temperature in C

we get C=-3080J/55.6g/-14.8C=3.743J/g/C

The effect of temperature on specific heat of material is referred to as specific heat capacity.


The effect of temperature on magnetization?

Each material which can be magnetized has a material specific, so called Curie temperature. Above this specific temperature the material will lose its magnetism and the ability to be magnetized. Returning below this temperature, the material regains its magnetic properties.


The specific heat of the material is?

specific heat content is calculated by the joules of energy required to change the temperature of one cubic centimeter of the material 1 degree Celsius.


Materials with a high specific heat can absorb a lot of energy and show little change in temperature?

Yes. Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to change the temperature of the material, so a material with high specific heat needs a lot of heat energy for its temperature to go up.

Does specific gravity has units?

- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
