The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these s?
The specific heat of substance A is greater than that for substance B. If both sample sizes are the same and they both start at the same temperature and equal amounts of heat are added to both these samples, substance A will have a lower temperature than substance B.
What is used to find the specific heat capacity of a substance?
The equation for specific heat is: C = q/temp. change x mass. C is a substance's specific heat, which is a constant for every substance. q is its heat capacity in joules, temp. change is the change in temperature in degrees Celsius, and mass is in grams.
Explain why substances with hig specific heats take longer to heat up than substances wit the same mass which have low specific heats?
Type your answer here... A substance with high specific heat means it can absorb alot more heat energy before its temperature increases. A substance with low specific heat cannot absorb alot of heat energy so its temperature increases quickly because it cant absorb the heat. Remember there is a difference between Heat energy and Temperature. The ocean can absorb alot of heat energy but still feel like its cold in temperature. The tip of a needle can be at 1000 degrees temperature but there is hardly any actual heat energy in it because its so small.
What is the specific heat of a substance that has a mass of 25 grams and requires 525 calories to raise its temperature by 15 degrees celsius?
We know that Q=m.s.t, where Q= Heat, s= Specific heat of the substance, t=temperature(Difference in temperatures) =>s= Q/m.t =>s=525/(25X15) =>s=525/375 =>s=1.4 cal/g/0c Specific heat of the substance is 1.4 cal/g/0c.
