How To calculate Specific Heat of A compound Such as NaOH?

Answer 1

Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.

Answer 2

To calculate the specific heat of a compound like NaOH, you would need to know the mass of the compound and the energy required to change its temperature by a certain amount. The formula to calculate specific heat is: specific heat = (energy applied)/(mass * temperature change). Once you have these values, you can plug them into the formula to find the specific heat of the compound.
