What is the heat capacity of silver metal if 55g of the metal absorbs 47.3 calories of heat and the temperature rises 15 degrees centigrade?

To do this equation you use the formula: q=mc(Delta T)
Then you have to change the problem algebraically because we are trying to find 'c'.
So you have c = q
m(deltaT)
Heres your answer:
0.0573333333........
But since we have '15.0' and '47.3' then we can only have 3 significant figures.
So your final answer is:
0.057

∙ 12y agoUse this equation:
q = cmΔT
Heat(energy) = specific heat X mass x change in temperature
After looking up the specific heat of silver (units are J/ g ▪°C) you just plug and chug.
q = (0.233 J/ g ▪°C)(11.4 g)(15.5 °C)
= 41.2 J

is it 11.1 grammes or kilogrammes or tonnes or bushels ???? :)
Is it 14.4 deg C or F ?

What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
When a substance loses or absorbs energy its temperature can change true or false?
Very true.
What is it when something absorbs heat?
What happens is that the molecules will move faster causing the object's temperature to increase and expand.
How does the heat get in to the metal spoon?
since metal is a good conductor of heat, it absorbs the heat and the spoon increases the temperature
What happen to solid when they absorbs heat?
Such a solid will either: a) Increase in temperature b) Melt c) or both

What properties of water protects organism from overheating?
water has a high heat of vapourization.it absorbs much heat as it changes from liquid to gas.it has the capacity of absorbing heat with minimum of change in its own temperature
If an endothermic process absorbs 263 Joules how many kilo-calories are absorbed?
0.0629
Does the Ozone elevate the temperature of the planet?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs radiation and increases the temperature.
How do ocean temperatures affect temperature on land?
The water absorbs heat and keeps gives the temperature a consistency.
What is the significance of vulcanized rubber?
Raw Natural Rubber Vulcanized Natural Rubber Soft and sticky Comparatively hard and non-sticky Low tensile strength and not very strong High tensile strength and very strong Low elasticity High elasticity Can be used over a narrow range of temperature from 10 to 60 degrees centigrade Can be used over a wide range of temperature from -40 to 100 degrees centigrade Low abrasion resistance High abrasion resistance Absorbs a large amount of water Absorbs a small amount of water Soluble in solvents like ether) carbon disulp hide, carbon tetrachloride, petrol and turpentine Insoluble in all the usual solvents Raw Natural Rubber Vulcanized Natural Rubber Soft and sticky Comparatively hard and non-sticky Low tensile strength and not very strong High tensile strength and very strong Low elasticity High elasticity Can be used over a narrow range of temperature from 10 to 60 degrees centigrade Can be used over a wide range of temperature from -40 to 100 degrees centigrade Low abrasion resistance High abrasion resistance Absorbs a large amount of water Absorbs a small amount of water Soluble in solvents like ether) carbon disulp hide, carbon tetrachloride, petrol and turpentine Insoluble in all the usual solvents Vulcanized Rubber is hard and non-sticky, very strong, it has high elasticity, and can be used over a high range of temperatures. It also absorbs a small amount of water.
